Cattleya
Hello;
I am new to Orchid Board. I have been growing Orchids for about 5 years now; I have been growing Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium Phals; Dendrobium Nobile, and Cattleya. I have a few of each in my collection. I am more experienced with the Phalaenopsis and have done very well with them.
I have a Cattleya that I've been growing now for a year and a half. I purchased it at an Orchid Show. It has finally decided to rebloom for me, which made me very happy, and I've been watching the buds develop normally up until now. Yesterday I noticed that the buds were taking on a different color than the day before. I started to question it, and today they are definitely looking yellow at the base of the bud. I think the buds are going to blast and I don't know what happened. The only thing that I can think of, is I have been shutting the heat register off for the night in that room in order for my Christmas Cactus to bud, which they are now loaded with flower buds. Could that temperature change have been enough to cause bud blast? The buds are still entire, they have not opened yet, so I decided to put the Cattleya in the kitchen where it will receive consistent temperature.
Thank you,
Danny
