Cattleya with red foliage
Hi ,
I am a new orchid grower...since 2008.
I have a variety of orchids (mostly hybrids) from catts, phals, cymbidiums, vandas, oncidiums , dendrobiums...I have had success in some... but unfortunately killed a few...I learned a lot from reading threads in the orchidboard....but still learning.
I have one red cattleya plant that blooms every winter and has a vigorous growth habbit. Unfortunately, when it blooms, the leaves are almost as red as the flowers....
I'm just wondering if that's normal? I read somewhere that red leaves indicate too much light... although, I am not sure if I should reduce light ... as it might stop blooming....
Any comments would be appreciated.
