The Rlc. Chief Fortune is a striking Cattleya alliance hybrid producing 12-15cm magenta flowers with a golden-orange lip and intense citrus-spice fragrance. This large-growing orchid (40-60cm) thrives in bright conditions (4,000-6,000 lux) and warm 24-30°C summer temperatures, requiring a coarse bark mix and excellent drainage. Part of the esteemed "Chief" hybrid series, it flowers reliably in late spring when given a slight winter rest (15-18°C nights). While uncommon in general cultivation, its bold colours and vigorous growth make it a favourite among Cattleya enthusiasts. Water when the potting medium is nearly dry, and provide strong air movement to mimic its natural habitat.
