2024 is their first year blooming and the blooms have all been beautiful and interesting! As with all seed-grown hybrids, there is variation from flower to flower. Picture shown may not be representative of the flowers on the purchased plant.
Care: Bright indirect light, cool-warm temps, regular watering and fertilizer spring-fall and let dry between light waterings in the winter.
Well-established blooming size plant in 3.25" pot.
These vigorous, fast-growing hybrids have produced really lovely flowers! Each flower spike produces 2-4, 3" flowers that look almost identical to E. brassavolae except they are bluish-purple. Flowers late summer. Because these plants were raised from seeds and are not mericloned, the flowers will vary slightly from plant to plant.
Our hybrids are created from superior plants that we have acquired over the years. We breed for vigor, quality, and size.
Care: bright-very bright indirect light, intermediate-warm temps, regular watering and feeding spring-fall. A rest period in the winter is advisable with less water and no food.

Cattleya Mariae Piae (Cattleya forbesii x C purpurata). Blooming-size plant in a 3.25" pot.All plants available have previously bloomed and currently have at least 1 new growth developingThis hybrid was first registered in 1897 and we liked it so much we brought it back! Using our finest parent plants, this is the result. The beautiful white petals have delicate pink veins and the large, rolled lip starts out white and turns purple with a white margin.
Care: bright indirect light, intermediate-warm temps, regular watering and light feeding spring-fall, and a slightly drier rest period in the winter.

1 lb of Long coconut husk fiber. Great for many plant uses, particularly with orchids. $6 discount when you purchase 3 lbs (Select the 3 lb option, not 3 of the 1 lb option)! Contact us to buy by the bale (~75 lbs for $350 plus shipping).
Here at the Orchids For The People nursery, this is our go-to potting medium! 95+% of our plants now live in just coconut fiber! It’s easy to use. When using it as a potting medium just fluff it up, pillow (don’t wrap) it around the roots, and stuff the whole “unit” into a pot with really good drainage. We recommend terra cotta pots or “Raindance” pots, which we also sell. The “unit” should be very snug in the pot.
What we love about coco fiber:
Slow to break down. Will easily last 2 years, the maximum recommended time between repottings.
Very lightweight (easy on the back and the tables).
Holds moisture while allowing great air circulation when used with the appropriate pot (lots of drain holes) or basket.
Roots and flower spikes penetrate easily. You never have to worry about whether or not your Stanhopea or Dracula flower spike is going to make it out of the basket!
We also use it to wrap plants before mounting them. This protects fragile roots during the process and creates a small, more damp microclimate allowing the plant to acclimate quicker with less stress. Plus, it helps hide the wire or string used to affix the plant to the mount.
We also use it to "top dress” pots when using other potting mediums. This prevents weed growth, slows water loss, soil erosion due to overhead watering, and moss and algae from accumulating on top of certain mediums such as sphagnum moss.
