Catesetum pileatum

The Catasetum pileatum is a live Catasetum orchid plant with seasonal growth and unusual orchid flowers. This orchid belongs to the Cattleya Alliance and related orchid collection, a group admired for bold flowers, warm tropical character, and strong display value. It is suitable for orchid lovers, bright patios, sheltered balconies, home collections, and simple plant gifts.

Cattleya Alliance orchids are appreciated for their expressive flower forms and bright colours. Many varieties grow well in Singapore when they receive strong filtered light, airy growing media, and careful watering. Place the plant where the leaves receive bright semi-shade, and allow the roots to breathe between watering.

The plant is supplied as a live orchid in a growing pot. Bloom count, spike height, and flower opening may vary naturally because each orchid plant grows at its own pace. This keeps each orchid slightly different while preserving the same fresh nursery-grown quality.

Orchid Care

Grow your Catasetum orchid in bright filtered light with good airflow. During active growth, water well when the growing media approaches dry and let excess water drain away. When leaves yellow or drop during dormancy, reduce watering and keep the plant drier until new growth and roots begin.

• Fertilizer: Feed lightly during active growth with EzGro NPK Foliar Blue Fertilizer 63. For flowering support, use EzGro NPK Foliar Pink Fertilizer 67.
• Growing Media: Repot when needed with airy orchid growing media, such as coarse charcoal or other fast-draining orchid potting medium.
