Prada Green Deluxe is a striking orchid with distinctive fresh green blooms and a soft floral fragrance.

A distinct appearance for lovers of unusual blooms.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis orchid is a hybrid within the Rhyncholaeliocattleya group (Rlc.), created from complex hybrid work between tropical species from South and Central America. Because of its parentage, it combines the best of several worlds: the robustness of Rhyncholaelia, the flower size of Cattleya and a color reminiscent of fresh lime juice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLarge, light green flowers with firm flower structure\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWide, slightly wavy lip with yellow to cream accents\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLightly fragrant, especially during the morning hours\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompact growth habit with thick, oval pseudobulbs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUsually 2 to 3 flowers per flowering shoot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis hybrid is loved for its flowering power and rare coloration not often found in the Cattleya group.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ch3\u003eLight\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlace the plant in a bright location with plenty of indirect sunlight. A few hours of morning sun is conducive to flowering, but bright afternoon sun should be avoided to prevent leaf burn.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTemperature\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eIdeally between 18 and 25°C during the day and at least 13°C at night.

Preferably use demineralized water or possibly clean rainwater at room temperature. These orchids do not like tap water because of the disturbed mineral ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFlowering\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Rlc. Prada Green Deluxe usually blooms once a year, often in late summer or fall, depending on growing conditions. Flowering is followed by a dormant period when the plant requires less water. New flowering occurs from fresh shoots, so ensure adequate light and nutrition during the growth phase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rlc.","offers":[{"title":"17 cm \/ Nee","offer_id":57249651491189,"sku":"RLCPGDN","price":54.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"17 cm \/ Ja","offer_id":57249651523957,"sku":"RLCPGDJ","price":79.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/7231\/2852\/products\/orchid_big522.jpg?v=1681203606","url":"https:\/\/orchids-shop.com\/products\/rlc-prada-green-deluxe-big","provider":"Claessen Orchids \u0026 Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
