Cattleya Care Guide

Cattleya orchids are very sturdy and can take a lot of abuse from those who tend to forget to water. They are also tolerant of several temperature ranges.

  Light

This plant prefers bright indirect light, but can tolerate medium indirect light. Plants grown under ideal light will have apple green leaves and plants which are not getting enough light will have dark green leaves. Learn more about light here 

 Watering

In Coconut Husk medium water retention is more compared to Pine Bark, so plants in Coconut Husk may require once in 2-3 days watering compared to 1-2 days watering in Pine Bark.  Medium may dry faster or slower depending on the weather conditions. So always touch and feel the medium, only when partially dry water the plant.  Learn more about watering here

Fertilizing

 Fertilizing your orchid regularly provides it with the nutrients it needs for optimal health, immunity and vigorous blooming. Weekly once with Bio-20 or Basfoliar 19:19:19 for growth and rooting. Once a month with Basfoliar 13-40-13. Learn more about fertilizing here

Cattleya Leopoldii is a species native to Brazil, this species is found in coastal swamps below three or four hundred feet elevation. This species orchid can grow two to three feet tall and produce many-flowered inflorescences. And that is exactly what makes it so wonderful! Spotted flowers and a bright fuchia midlobe of the lip, The individual flowers are not especially large, averaging about three inches across. What they lack in size they make up for in numbers, with mature plants capable of producing 10 or more flowers per inflorescence! The flowers have a strong spicy fragrance very close to the bubblegum. This species was first dicovered as cat. tigrina but two years later was renamed as Cat. leopoldii in honour of the King Leopold I of Belgium who was an ardent supporter of horticulture.
