Orchid not in bloom.

Pot 3.0"

 

The Catasetum Taiwan Red Diamond is a stunning Taiwanese hybrid prized for its 5-7cm deep red male flowers that launch pollen like tiny rockets when touched. This orchid demands seasonal care: during active growth (25-32°C/77-90°F), it requires daily flooding and weekly high-nitrogen fertilizer, while in winter dormancy (15°C/59°F), it must stay bone dry for 3-4 months after leaf drop. Grow in coarse bark mix in shallow pots, providing intense light (5,000-7,000 lux) to encourage male blooms. The flowers' cinnamon fragrance and explosive pollination mechanism make it a fascinating specimen. While challenging for beginners due to its strict dormancy needs, its rapid growth (30-50cm pseudobulbs in one season) and vibrant colors reward experienced growers.
