Just purchased my first Cattleya! Any and all advice welcome

[sewagner86]

Hello all!

I just purchased my first cattleya after only having phaleanopsis orchids. I am excited and nervous all at the same time but ready to expand and potentially fill my home with other plants!

The cattleya I purchased is called Amazing Thailand. The listing says its small and not in spike or flower. It is coming with a self watering pot.

Any tips, tricks or advice for me? How different is this going to be from my phaleanopsis orchids? Should I keep it in the self watering pot?

Thank you!
