Introducing Bratonia Charlea M Fitch mericlones - the perfect addition to your garden with their striking pink flowers and impressive 12cm flower size! These cool-growing orchids will give your garden a unique touch that will surely stand out.
Bratonia are intergeneric hybrids between the orchid genera Brassia and Miltonia; however this intriguing plant is classified in the subtribe Oncidiinae.
The photo that shows on each available variant is indicative of the size plant that you will receive. Size B plants can be expected to reach flowering size in 3 years; Size B+ plants in 2-2.5 years; Size C plants in 6-18 months (depending on the flowering season and time of purchase). Please check carefully when selecting options to avoid “size surprise”.
Oncidiums, Odontoglossums and their hybrids are another orchid which will grow well alongside your Cymbidiums. They thrive outdoors in shady to dappled light - ensuring they get plenty of light will ensure that flowering will not be inhibited. Many do well on slabs, where they benefit from the rapid alteration of wet to dry if they are watered daily and dry fast. Additionally, most do very well in an intermediate greenhouse; with a minimum night temperature of 12°C as average.
