Training Cattleyas

[jkofferdahl]

Untrained cattleyas can be a real problem, especially when they get big. Jumping up on people, the endless barking, etc., gets very annoying, especially to guests.

Oh, sorry. I've used two methods. I either tie the new growths to stakes, somewhat like tieing a Phalaenopsis spike, or I use heavy-gauge wire with a large loop to hold the growths together.
