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

The Blc. Alma Kee "Tipmalee" AM/AOS is a classic Cattleya hybrid that has been loved by collectors for decades for its impressive flowers. This cultivar carries an AM (Award of Merit) from the American Orchid Society, which stands for exceptional quality. With its rich colors and elegant shapes, this plant is a true jewel for any orchid lover.

Origin

This hybrid was created from a cross between Brassavola, Laelia and Cattleya, combining the best of each genus. The cultivar "Tipmalee" is one of the most famous selections within this cross and is praised worldwide for its striking presentation and rich blooms.

Features

The flowers of the Blc. Alma Kee "Tipmalee" are large, wavy and have an intense golden yellow color with a contrasting deep purple lip. The flowers are often lightly scented and can produce up to 15 cm in diameter. When mature, they usually appear in groups of two to four on sturdy flowering stems. This cultivar is known for its vigorous growth and compact habit, making it suitable for both windowsills and warm greenhouses.

Care

Light

Plenty of bright, indirect light is essential. A few hours of morning sun or filtered afternoon sun is well tolerated. Avoid bright, direct summer afternoon sun.

Temperature

Grows best in warm to moderate temperatures (18-30 °C during the day, at least 14 °C at night).

Substrate

Use an airy orchid substrate based on coarse bark, possibly mixed with sphagnum for extra moisture retention.

Humidity

A humidity of 50-70% is ideal. Ensure adequate air circulation to prevent mold and rot.

Nutrition

During the growing season, feed weekly with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to 1/4 the recommended strength.

Watering.

Allow the substrate to dry out almost completely between waterings. Preferably use demineralized water to avoid mineral buildup. Avoid tap water, as from this this orchid can get damage to the leaves and roots quite quickly due to the wrong proportions of minerals.

Flowering

Flowering usually occurs in the summer or fall. After flowering follows a dormant period when less water is needed. With proper care, this plant can bloom annually, and sometimes more often.
