Cattleya trianae Linden & Rchb.f., Wochenschr. Gärtnerei Pflanzenk. 3: 67 (1860).

Temperature: W.I.

Country: Colombian Andes

Cattleya trianae bears flowers to 15cm, usually in pairs, on a robust pseudobulb with a single labiate leaf. The labiate Cattleyas are best grown in a well drained pot or basket. The media should be open so that it does not stay wet.

Cattleya trianae requires a warm to intermediate climate and when growing, should be fertilised and watered adequately. When not in growth, drier conditions should prevail.
