In our nursery we have various forms of one plant. Plants are living beings and so they are sometimes different. Variations in color and size are therefore possible.

The pictures shown with our products are sample pictures. These photos give a true picture of what the plant may look like when properly cared for. The specifications are leading for the plant received. Please read the characteristics carefully before ordering.

What are sample images?

We have an extremely large, extensive assortment with thousands of plants. In addition, because specific plants change in shape, color and size on a weekly basis, it is impossible for our small team to capture all specific plants. Each plant grows in a unique way, so it is perfectly normal that there may be differences in color, shape and size.

But because we do want to communicate clearly to you what to expect with a product, we have specifications for each plant that will give you a clear picture of what to expect.

It is therefore rare that you will receive the exact plant shown in the picture. If this is the case, it will be explicitly mentioned in the product description. Our goal is to ensure that you have a pleasant, green shopping experience and that you can shop with us worry-free.

For people who like to browse among the plants, we have a physical store. Check the contact page for opening hours and more info.

Description

Bc. Jairak Fire Star is a striking hybrid within the Cattleya alliance, known for its intensely colored flowers and vigorous growth. The combination of warm orange-red hues and a compact, floriferous character makes this hybrid popular with beginners and experienced tropical orchid collectors alike.

Origin

This hybrid originated from a cross between Brassavola and Cattleya (hence the abbreviation Bc.) and was developed in Thailand by Jairak Orchid. It was specially selected for bright flower colors, vigorous flowering and a somewhat more compact growth than classic Cattleyas. In culture, this hybrid behaves as a vigorously growing epiphyte, suitable for indoor cultivation or greenhouse conditions with sufficient light.

Characteristics

The plant grows sympodially and forms sturdy, upright pseudobulbs with narrow, leathery leaves. An erect flower cluster with several medium-sized flowers appears from mature shoots in the right season. The color is usually a deep orange-red to fire-red with a contrasting lip, often in shades of yellow, red or crimson. The flowers are waxy, persistent and slightly fragrant. Under ideal conditions, the plant may bloom several times a year.

Care

Light

Give plenty of bright, indirect light to light morning sun. This hybrid has a high light requirement to bloom, but does not tolerate bright afternoon sun. A spot near an east or south window is ideal (possibly with filtering).

Temperature

Between 18 °C and 28 °C. The plant tolerates slight nighttime cooling, but no cold snap or temperatures below 15 °C.

Substrate

Use an airy orchid bar mixture based on medium bark and possibly some coconut chips. The roots should be allowed to dry out quickly and like a well-aerated pot.

Humidity

A humidity of 50-70% is sufficient. Be sure to provide good ventilation to prevent mold and rot.

Nutrition

During active growth (spring to fall), you may lightly fertilize every 2-3 weeks with an orchid fertilizer, diluted to half strength. In winter, once a month is sufficient or temporarily stop when dormant.

Watering

Allow the substrate to dry completely between waterings. Water preferably in the morning and use demineralized water. Avoid stagnant water in leaf axils or mock bulbs.

Flowering

Flowering usually appears in spring or summer, but more often under ideal conditions. Flowers usually last 2-3 weeks and are firm enough for cut flower use. After flowering, the flowering stem may be removed as soon as it dries.
