Cattleya Netrasiri Beauty x Blc Varut Roongkamol
 

Hi everybody!


First of all, my main language is French, so please be soft on me! I don't know the specific words in English sometimes... so I might have difficulties understanding you.

Okay, let's start by the beginning. I want to a wedding last weekend, and "won" an wonderful orchid!! (Which the husband's parents grows)

It is a Cattleya Netrasiri Beauty x Blc Varut Roongkamol. There's a picture in my profil (hasn't succeed yet in putting it as avatar!)

They've already told me to replant it when the flower is wilt. And to give water only when the soil is dry completly, and until it's humid again. (checking the soil once a week)


I'd like to know everything about this plant. Where to place it (what kind of light), other care to give her so she make flowers again. How often is it suposed to flowers ? I really want to keep her alive, and healty! and Flowering!!!

Help! I need somebody, Help! ahaha ;)

Hello and welcome to Orchidboard :D
Your English is fine, don't worry ;)

The plant you won ( :dance: ) is a Cattleya hybrid.
It likes bright light. You'll get lots of information from your new friends here at Orchidboard in no time :banana:

C Netrasiri Beauty is a favorite of mine so I am really looking forward to seeing pictures when it blooms :D

If you need help with anything, please feel free to ask. :)

So I have to move it from the hard mid-day sun?

It has a flower right now! It's a mature plant! It's so beautiful! Just view my profil picture to see her ;)

That depends. How long has it been there? Is it doing well there? If you think its too much sun, then yes move it. If you think it is doing well, then leave it there. They do like their light. The only worry is to make sure you don't burn the orchid.

Oh! Well, I bring her home yesterday hihi^^ And actually, I was about to ask about her leaves... They don't look perfect to me... there's some black marks like these on the tip of some leaves. I just took some new pictures of her!

First: There's a whole lot of things there, anything to do? link1
