How do I trim Cattleya after bloom

[lostonthebeach]

I think you deserve a lot of credit for taking such good care of your plants. A nice looking collection.

Hi Curtis,
You have a lovely collection of orchids, I really enjoyed your pictures. I am like you, bought my first set of cattleyas. Five to be exact, last Saturday from an orchid show. I have dendrobiums, phals and oncidums now I have to learn to care for the cattleyas.

I took some pictures of cattleyas and some others which are in bloom right now. I just need to find the time to upload them!

Tanya,

Thank you. I would love to see the pictures of your new catts and the rest of your collection. I bought most of mine from Hausermann Orchids her in Villa Park.
The nursery is 30 minutes from my home. I also have an orchid a month delivered to my office from them. It is always a thrill to see what they sent each month.

Here is a decent writeup from them on catts
