Is his Cattleya sick?
 

I bought it about a year and a half ago. It has never bloomed and recently developed this yellowing on some of its leaves, is this normal or is something terribly wrong? :(

Thank you in advance for your help.

It might be staying a little too wet. Let the media get very dry before watering. While I'm waiting for the media to dry out, I often mist any visible roots or aerial roots to make sure the plant is getting enough moisture. In the future, I would suggest using larger chunks of media in the basket to promote faster drying. Good luck.

Thought the basket looked a bit too large altho a larger bark would help it dry quicker as tucker85 mentioned and great advice. Good luck!

Thank you Tucker and DeaC! I will take all of it to heart and hand and check her out totally!

I did buy it in bloom about a uer and a half ago.

I looked through my old photos and found it. But either I lost the tag or it did not have one, not sure. It has never bloomed again .

Hoping this will help with additional diagnoses :)

I so want to see her bloom again!
