Anyone grow Cattleya lawrenceana?
Does anyone have experience growing Cattleya lawrenceana? I recently imported a variety of Cattleya species and all have been doing well...except for this guy.
It came in bud, blasted, and now I assume it's in dormancy... or dealing with shock from a new environment. but the entire plant turned red, from p-bulb to leaf tip. The plant is firm, the roots are okay, and I see that dormant eyes are starting to swell. I read that the red tinge of the plant is characteristic of this species... but it's rather peculiar...
I have it outdoors in an area with my other Cattleyas which gets morning sun and afternoon shade. After it turned red, I moved it to a more shady area. I have been following information in Arthur Chadwick's Cattleya book but I was wondering if anyone else had additional cultural advice.
Thanks!
