Cattleya Rex-- tips to grow a dream orchid? Male
Default Cattleya Rex-- tips to grow a dream orchid?

Hi, I recently acquired a Cattleya Rex seedling that has a good small bulb and new roots potted in bark. If anyone has grown this dream orchid, I'd be grateful for any tips on growing indoors by a window. I read they don't like the temps below 58 and don't like drying out for very long. Do you know if they grow in more moss or on bare bark natively or if they have higher air circulation and temperature differentials? I really want this one to make it to maturity. I've wanted this one for years.

Thanks ahead of time for your growing tips

My favorite source of information for species Cattleyas is Chadwick and Sons. Here is the link to yours:

I don't have this one either, just wanted to say good luck with it. I'm starting to get more of the species. Love them.

I was growing a bunch of these large, beautiful, species Cattleyas for a while but I realized at some point that I did not have the space for those and everything else I wanted to grow. I do often regret not growing them (my little aclandiae will never be nearly as impressive as most of them, including the Rex). Chadwick and Sons has great information on nearly all of them, though, and I found it a fantastic source of information. Good luck!
