Love the dark colors on this one, especially in the lip.

Not really. It is a very old one. At least 25 years. Laelia tenebrosa was what it was called, changed now in Cattleya tenebrosa.
In Europe we do not use variety or clonal names that much, as you obviously know.
But is is a nice one. Dark colors, nice veins, huge flowers. And flowering every year with 5 or 6 flowers on a stem. I love it!

Laelia tenebrosa new growth training issues
Hello everyone.
This is my first post at this forum. I have a question about my Laelia tenebrosa. She is a 3 years old plant. She is a root growing monster. However it appears, that she loves to grow on the sides as much as it's possible. I just spotted, that she has an ingrown new growth inside the pot. I removed the old pot and have managed to free a new growth before repotted her. My question is now, how can I train it to grow upwards not downwards to the pot again?

Welcome Max! 
Give it light from above. Additionally, you can cover the pot so that light doen't pass through its side.

When it starts to grow new roots (probably spring) it could use repotting. I have found that these (and C. purpurata as well) are very vigorous, and do better in baskets for me. They do grow along a rhizome, and tend to climb out their pots.

Thank you Roberta. Spring repotting is a great idea.Hopefully i shall find suitable basket for her. She grows really quick. |
