Catasetinae Alliance: Clowesetum Jumbo Lace

Introducing the Clowesetum Jumbo Lace, a mesmerizing orchid hybrid that combines the elegance of Clowesia Rebecca Northen with the striking beauty of Catasetum fimbriatum. This exceptional orchid boasts stunning spotted green flowers adorned with frilly yellow lips, making it a captivating addition to any orchid collection.

Cultivating the Clowesetum Jumbo Lace is a rewarding experience, and here are some tips to help you care for this extraordinary orchid:

1. Light Requirements: Provide bright, indirect light to mimic its natural habitat. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest hours of the day, as it can scorch the delicate foliage.

2. Temperature and Humidity: Maintain temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C) during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. Additionally, ensure high humidity levels, preferably between 50% to 70%, to keep the orchid thriving.

3. Watering: Allow the potting mix to dry slightly between waterings, but never let it completely dry out. Water the orchid thoroughly when the top inch of the potting mix feels dry to the touch. During the growing season, increase watering frequency to accommodate the plant's increased demand for moisture.

4. Potting Mix: Use a well-draining orchid mix that allows for good air circulation around the roots. A mix of bark, perlite, and charcoal works well for Clowesetum Jumbo Lace.

5. Fertilization: Feed the orchid with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half-strength every two weeks during the growing season. Reduce fertilization frequency during the winter months when the plant is dormant.

6. Repotting: Repot the Clowesetum Jumbo Lace every one to two years, preferably in spring after the flowering season. Repotting helps refresh the potting mix and provides the orchid with adequate space for root growth.

7. Flowering: Enjoy the exquisite blooms of the Clowesetum Jumbo Lace, which typically appear in clusters and can last for several weeks. Provide proper care, and you'll be rewarded with a stunning display of spotted green flowers with frilly yellow lips.

With proper care and attention, the Clowesetum Jumbo Lace will grace your home or greenhouse with its unparalleled beauty, captivating all who behold its magnificent blooms. Add this remarkable orchid hybrid to your collection and elevate your growing experience to new heights.
