Unless otherwise stated in the item size, these are grower's choice.Cattleya Intermedia var. Aquinii — an air-acclimated orchid tissue-culture plantlet, ready to grow on. A laborat ory-grown orchid plantlet, deflasked from its sterile tissue-culture vessel and acclimated to ambient air. The hardest transition — out of the sealed flask — is already behind it. You receive a plantlet ready to pot into your preferred medium. Source: Grown by Kanjarin Nursery, a respected tissue-culture producer. On hybrid varieties: sibling seedlings from the same cross can express differently when they bloom — color, pattern, size, and fragrance may vary plant to plant. That genetic lottery is part of the appeal of growing tissue cultures. The grow-on journey: from a deflasked plantlet, expect roughly 18-24 months to blooming size with good care — a listing for growers who enjoy the long game. Care during establishment: Pot into a fine orchid mix — sphagnum, fine bark, or seedling-grade media Keep humidity around 60-80% for the first month; a propagation dome or covered tray helps Bright, indirect light — no direct sun Keep the medium evenly moist, never waterlogged Hold off on fertilizer for 4-6 weeks, then feed very dilute (¼ strength) balanced orchid fertilizer Insulation and/or Heat Pack strongly recommended for shipping when temperatures drop below 50°F — plantlets are more cold-sensitive than mature orchids.For pest prevention I use beneficial insects, and otherwise treat with natural, chemical-free products like PureCrop1.Display photos may be of mother plants or prop pots and do not represent the plant size — please review the size variants before purchasing.
