Experience! John Odom (Odom Orchids) told us he has killed more Cattleyas than anyone on the planet, which is why he such a great grower!! Killing orchids is (unfortunately) the best way to learn how to grow them. Meeting up with experienced growers and learning their ways is the second best way to learn how to grow Online resources like OB, Facebook, and others are the third best way to learn.

Generally, slow growing plants are less likely to recover from cultural mistakes than fast growing plants.
