Cattleya leaves turning purple

[rymor]

Nothing to worry about. my catts and phals tend to tan up during the summer and sometimes under lights. Just check periodically to make sure they are not getting crispy ends.

I live at the sea and high floor so we always have breeze and windy. They receive South sun. I give them direct sun very early morning, they are shaded afternoon as strong sun is coming from above. Than when sun is gone they are at air again. I discovered they are drying so quicky so they are plenty watered even now before summer (we have almost summer temperature).
As I am at the sea I have great drop in temperature during night and very high humidity.
All great conditions for growing Cattleyas the question is how much I know and how much I give them.

We will see ;-)
