Description

The Cattleya Blc. Bonanza Queen “Panamint” is a hybrid orchid from the Cattleya alliance. It is prized for its large, vibrant, and fragrant flowers. Here are the care and other details you need to know about growing this orchid successfully:


Basic Care

  1. Light:
    • Provide bright, indirect light.
    • Ideal: 50-70% filtered sunlight. You can use sheer curtains or place the plant in a bright east or south-facing window.
    • Avoid direct afternoon sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
  2. Temperature:
    • Daytime: 75–85°F (24–29°C).
    • Nighttime: 55–65°F (13–18°C).
    • Ensure a temperature drop of 10-15°F at night to encourage blooming.
  3. Humidity:
    • Ideal range: 50–70% humidity.
    • Use a humidity tray or mist the plant (in the morning) if your environment is dry.
  4. Watering:
    • Water thoroughly but allow the medium to dry out slightly between waterings.
    • Reduce watering in cooler months but never let the pseudobulbs wrinkle excessively.
    • Avoid letting water sit on the leaves or in the crown.
  5. Potting Medium:
    • Use a well-draining orchid mix (e.g., bark, charcoal, and perlite).
    • Repot every 2–3 years, or when the medium begins to break down.
  6. Fertilizer:
    • Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20 or similar) at half strength every 2–3 weeks during active growth.
    • Reduce feeding during the dormant period (usually late fall/winter).

Blooming

  • Flowering Period: Typically once a year, depending on care and growing conditions.
  • Flowers are large, showy, and fragrant, lasting several weeks.
  • Encourage blooming by:
    • Providing sufficient light.
    • Ensuring proper day/night temperature differences.
    • Reducing water and fertilizer slightly during the plant’s rest period.

Pests and Diseases

  1. Pests:
    • Watch for mealybugs, scale, aphids, and spider mites.
    • Treat with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil if pests appear.
  2. Diseases:
    • Prevent fungal or bacterial infections by ensuring good air circulation and avoiding overwatering.
    • Use fungicides for leaf spotting if necessary.

Propagation

  • Division:
    • Divide the rhizome when repotting, ensuring each division has at least 3–5 pseudobulbs.
    • Allow the cut edges to dry before replanting to prevent rot.

Additional Tips:

  • Regularly inspect the plant for health and cleanliness.
  • If grown indoors, supplement with artificial grow lights if natural light is insufficient.
  • Avoid overhandling the roots, as they are sensitive.
