On a bench in a southeast facing leanto greenhouse, together with many more Cattleyas, Encyclias etc. I think proper fertilizing is important to get strong pbulbs.

Would you mind sharing your fertilizing schedule for your cattleyas? Any tip is greatly welcomed! Thanks ahead for your time.

C. gigas , dowiana , hardyana.
-----------------------------

My 20+ plants of C. dowiana , C. warscewiczii (C. gigas) and C. hardyana flower regularly every year , and the flowers get more breathtaking every year ... sooo , perhaps my regimen is not that bad ??

I use NUTRICOTE 18-6-8 , and I place a tea spoon flat-full near any new shoots when they are developing their (new) roots. The nutrients get released when water is being sprayed onto the compost.

My compost is broken charcoal , enriched with some organic stuff , in perforated plastic pot , hanging.

These Cattleya plants require a fresh breeze at (all) times and their roots must NOT be kept wet at all times !!

Temperature :: 28° / 18° (Degrees Celsius).

I do not divide these plants , they grow-grow-grow and the pots get perpetually bigger. (smile)

Shoot, you should start a thread for these guys! I'd love to see them!
