Cattleya nobilior culture wanted
Would anyone who grows this species please be kind enough to post the cultural regimen you use? I have a couple of plants that I just received and want to make sure that I give them the treatment they require to thrive. Currently they're pretty small, growing in two-inch terracota pots with coarse coconut chunks (basically the plants are wedged into the pots with approximately four large pieces of the coconut--which is all that will fit in such small pots). The plants themselves consist of around three fully-leafed small pseudobulbs and leaves and are tiny (tiny for a cattleya, that is; I'm not sure how large this species has to get before it flowers, but these two plants are about a third of the size of my smallest-flowering-sized walkeriana). The leaves are very thick and a light to medium green, and the plants look healthy. Now I just want to keep them that way, which is why I would very much like to hear from anyone who grows this species. Thank you!
