Cattleyas for cool climates

[rbarata]

I'll keep monitoring it very closely.
If I see no activity, when I notice a max temp stabilization over 22 ºC (71,6 F) I'll start a light watering to act as a catalyst for root growth.
In their habitat heavy rains start in June but here we reach those temps by April/May.
So, starting on the 22 ºC, from there it's always uphill.

In their habitat, in the cool season, HR is around 60-65%. Since I have under the low 40's, in the meawhile I'll mist lightly the top of the medium once/week or more, depending on the weather.

Note: I'm putting it under full sun for an hour followed by 1/2 hr of bright shade. So far no burns or damage.
