These things are hogs. Give them as much light, water and fertilizer as you can. Pot them into whatever media you like as long as you water and fertilize heavily during growth. I always like to...

The sap (being sweet) also attracts insects like ants that will...

I repot dozens of cattleyas every week. I will say from experience there is no way to tell if the plant is potted well by just looking at it, usually you have to un-pot a plant to tell if it is...

I find that the smell is not strong enough to smell from far away. When you do put your nose up to the flower the smell always reminds me of lard soap.

I would guess that the spike is red and not brown and it has turned this color due to very high light levels. Also I believe that the sap at the growing tip is a defense mechanism against newly...

This one bloomed last year in October. We have had some cool nights for a couple weeks after a really hot July this year. That may be what's caused the early arrival. It's lip isn't nearly as nice...

C. lueddemanniana 'Cerro Verde' AM/AOS

This bloomed in the middle of July oddly enough and was a little small and weak this year after repotting. Next year should be much better.

Enjoy!
