Here I'll put two plants because there's not much to them.
First is my most recent acquisition, a gorgeous Potinara Dick Smith 'Paradise'. The plant is huuuge. Not only did I put it in a ceramic pot, but I filled that pot with marble rocks, and the plant is still sorta unstable haha. You see a close-up to one of its dark leaves and you see a bit of one of its lighter leaves. Most of its leaves are dark green but it came in full bloom, so maybe this one is less picky with light levels? It has 33.77% of Cattleya dowiana, the most abundant species on its background.
The other one is a bifoliate Cattleya Pittiae. Also dehydrated and it put out a super tiny growth under my care. Currently I don't know if it has living roots but seems as if it's going to start putting out new roots. I obviously don't expect blooms from this one for at least a year, but any care tips and advice are greatly appreciated, especially since I'm not that familiarized with bifoliates. It's a primary between Catt. loddigesii and Catt. schilleriana.
Thank you for reading so far,
Stan
