Cattleya zaslawskii

Cattleya ×zaslawskii is a natural hybrid (the × in the name) from southeastern Brazil, described by L.C. Menezes and moved into Cattleya by Van den Berg in 2010. Almost nothing about its habitat is published and GBIF holds no wild records, so treat it like the intermediate-temperature southeastern Brazilian cattleyas it derives from: bright light, a clear wet-summer/drier-winter rhythm and a free-draining mount or bark pot.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes for this hybrid were found. Natural Cattleya hybrids in southeastern Brazil arise where parent species grow together, on trees in semi-deciduous and Atlantic forest or on exposed rock outcrops; which applies here is not confirmed.

No elevation data. Southeastern Brazilian cattleyas mostly grow from near sea level to about 1,200 m.
