New Cattleya, No ID
I bought a Cattleya at Orchid Trail from their discount table aout 1.5 weeks ago. It didn't have an ID other than it's a Cattleya. The flowers were gorgeous, orange with a vibrant red on the inside, but they have fallen off (or are falling) now. I would like to take good care of this and am considering repotting it into s/h, but not sure if that would work well for them.
In the pictures the plant is in its original pot with a mix of bark and cork, that pot is placed in a clear pot with slits on the sides and some dry Leca in the bottom. It's in the outer pot mostly because it just happened to be sitting there and it's where I plopped the plant down. No special reason.
The window is a south facing window and the blinds are usually in that partially open position. It's a little gray out today, but I'm in NC and that window usually gets a lot of light.
Please let me know anything I could or should be doing to help my Cattleya thrive. It was an impulse buy b/c it was only $8. I'm still fairly new to any orchids other than phals, I keep saying I'm going to not buy them and then buying new kinds anyways. This means I'm not really giving myself a chance to really learn what I'm doing before I move on to a new type.
