Has anyone grown miniature catts in s/h?
 

Has anyone grown miniature catts in s/h. They are so tiny, I was wondering if it's Ok. I'm just new to s/h culture but excited about it when I rad about the successes.

They should do fine if you time it right for the repotting to coincide with root growth. My Catt walkeriana is doing very well with this method and it is a small statured Cattleya: http://www.orchidboard.com/community...lkerianas.html

As a matter of fact one of the orchids is a catt walkerianas.

thanks for the pictures. What do you have surrounding the catts. Is it a mini greenhouse?

It's actually aluminet shadecloth to help keep the Texas sun from frying my orchids!

Hi Elona,
I've moved your post and the responses to their own thread, you get more exposure that way than from reviving a 4 year old thread.

An I'll agree with Steve, mini Catts will do just fine in S/H. Catts in general, whether big or small, do well with this growing method. :) As with an orchid going into S/H, timing the move with brand new root growth is the most important thing.

Thanks for all the advice.

WHY YES ,YES I do....they do great
