Iwanagara appleblossom
After I see almost half of your cattleya pictures on this forum, I want to show one of mine. The plant looks very strong and now has 6 flowers. Maybe after the blooming, I'll repot it because the plant seems too big for his actual pot.
I am a new owner of this type and I hope to make them rebloom in the future.  |

Hi Nico 
WOW! Very nice and healthy looking plant. Also very lovely blooms. I was looking at your photos in the gallery earlier. It sure looks like you got a green thumb! Excellent growing!

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to share my Apple Blossum transplant story. I divided my plant in November 06 and placed each half in S/H. At the time each plant had 4 pseudobulbs. The plants took nicely to the S/H and even grew another bulb, looks great. But alas, no flowers this year. I guess I transplanted the plant too late in the season, but I felt I had no choice. Hopefully next year I will have flowers. So if your going to divide and you have the choice, this time of year is probably the right time. 
Thanks for sharing your pictures. |

Linda .. What kind of fertilizing schedule did you have your Apple Blossom on?

Hi Dorothy,
Since the plant is in S/H, I top it off when needed with Dyna-Gro. Roots look great and as I said, the pseudobulbs are also healthy. I am still hoping for buds but at this time I will be pleasantly surprised. Temps. are good for blooming, everything else budded. Just think it was the stress and change of the medium.
