Cattleya Problems
Now I know how to repot but what I am wondering is if a lot of them go backwards after repotting. I have some hybrids that have done poorly and some that have done extremely well after repotting. One thing I've noticed is that they often go backwards and lose leave with weak growths. I am not sure if the problem is unique to the particular hybrid or whether it's the repotting or even coconut as a medium.
I do worry about the coconut and am planning to repot into bark and perlite this year for those plants not really performing very well. It's funny but I've got a Mango Spice hybrid which I bought 10 of......a few have grown well and flowered but the majority have either been lost of just grow very slowly.
What do you guys think? I think I grow them well generally but there's always a few I feel like throwing out as they never develop growths that flower. I guess it would be a complex comparison to look at the hybrid parentage and work out something from that.
