I will buy a C. tenuis, but some of my orchid-friends say, this plant isn't good growing in culture. Now I'm a little bit unsure. In my books I haven't found not enough about the cultivation of this Cattleya.
Have you some more infos for me?
Greetings

It is not more difficult than C. bicolor, or C. granulosa for example, Karina. If you can grow them, then you can grow tenuis. I have one planted in tree fern fiber and plastic pot and another in sphagnum moss, also in plastic pot. Both are subject to the same watering frequency. You see, way different media and both are very good. The key is light. Bright light is very important.
Good luck with yours!

Yes, it is a tall plant, Helen. C. tenuis normally grows up to 60 cm tall, sometimes a little more, tough I've seen once in a while shorter adult plants, about 40 cm.
