Laelia is a genus closely related to Cattleya. There are numerous species whose flowers are similar in size to Cattleya.
Their scent is often legendary. It is native to Central and South America and is one of the larger genera with about 75 species. It is a pure epiphyte that can be found in nature on rocks and trees. You can find Laelia in many different climates and accordingly in many different color and form. In summer you can also put Laelias in the sheltered garden or on the balcony.
Special orchid care instructions for Laelia
A bright window place and temperatures not below 15 ° C are necessary. Laelia also needs a lot of light and endures high temperatures. The substrate (orchid soil) must always dry completely before anew pouring. Laelia can be cultivated either in coarse substrate or as bound plants. Unlike Cattleya, the flowers of most Laelia are not so round and full. There are also some small-flowered Laelia species.
