The Slc. Candy Ball × Soph. cernua is a vibrant compact hybrid combining the bold colour of Slc. Candy Ball with the miniature habit of Sophronitis cernua, producing 4-6cm orange-red flowers with a delicate honey fragrance. Thriving in intermediate conditions (22-28°C summer days) and bright filtered light (3,500-4,500 lux), this orchid benefits from the Sophronitis influence that keeps it compact (15-25cm) while maintaining substantial blooms. Grow in small bark chips or mounted, watering when the medium is nearly dry. Its rare status reflects limited propagation of Sophronitis hybrids, appealing to collectors seeking intense colour in small spaces. Flowers develop best with a slight temperature drop in autumn, typically blooming from autumn through winter.
