Today we take a closer look at crowd favorites Cattleya Orchids! No light or watering practices, but other more practical details!
🦋 More info below! 🦋
Cattleyas are among the most popular orchids in enthusiasts collections. Here are some culture details https://youtu.be/QhIPWC3s1s0
And http://www.aos.org/orchids/culture-sheets/cattleya.aspx
But did you know that each Cattleya can produce its new roots at particular times of the year? Also not all grow multiple canes per year, some only grow one! Do you know which Cattleyas don't bloom from the top of the canes?
These are details that you will usually discover as you grow them, but if you don't know what to expect, it might be quite nerve wracking!
