Grow these in bright light, allowing them to dry between watering....East or West window, these plants will benefit from a couple of hours of direct sunlight in the early morning(up to 10am) or late afternoon(3 pm til dusk) providing it’s not too hot to burn the leaves.
The sheath must not dry out, sometimes it takes too long to have a bud inside the sheath(be patient and dont cut it off even if it looks dried up)...do not move the plant if in sheath...humidity is a very important factor
Cattleya family blooms depends on the daylight intervals of the solstice not on cold temperatures like Phals...that is why blooms must be related to sunset and sundown of the seasons not the temperatures.
