My first cattleya Rlc. Triumphal Coronation 'Seto' - need advice Male
Default My first cattleya Rlc. Triumphal Coronation 'Seto' - need advice

Currently I am catching the Orchid fever and buying up different orchid species to experiment which one grows best under my condition.

My Cattleya just arrived yesterday. It is an Rlc triumphal coronation 'seto'. I got it because i did my research and found that larger cattleya are more fragrant and purple/pink large cattleya are easier to bloom. The plant is huge, much bigger than I anticipated and giving me space management problems. It arrived in a bark mix and some other pottining media that I don't understand. I bought it directly from the grower in Guangzhou.

What should I do with this one?

1) Repot or not repot to s/h? (don,t want bugs running around the bark mix). I can't see if there is new root growth. But I am not so good and experienced with bark mixture.

2) Is this type easy to grow? I only get info on growing cattleya in general, but not this particular hybrid. Any one have experience with this hybrid or similar hybrid?

3) It is siting behind a balcony door with 24hr fan sitting nearby. The light condition is good enough for oncidium and phals, not sure about catt. Temperature 22-25 at the moment but will probably go higher to 27 in mid summer with humidity ranging from 50-80%. Will it flower under this condition?

4) Is the stub on the second picture a new shoot or flower spike? It is damaged during shipping and the joint is quite "limpy" even tough the grower took extra step to protect it when packaging.

Thanks
