Care for Rlc & Blc Versus NOID Cattleya?

[Roberta]

Well, the devil is, as usual, in the details. Blc and Rlc both cover quite a range of hybrids. Parentage affects the fine points of culture, especially if you are pushing the envelope of what a particular hybrid will tolerate. However, pretty much all of them do well under intermediate conditions (night temperatures above about 55 de F/13 deg C) with bright light, and with medium/container combination that permits drying between waterings. Depending on parentage, rooting can be before bloom or after bloom... for deciding when to repot, just watch for new roots (not new growths). When you see them, do it.
