The good news is that most catt hybrids seem to be less picky than the species, so even if you don't know the parentage the odds are good you will be able to grow it!

A great part of learning how to grow orchids is learning how to "read" your plants and figure out what conditions they need to do well. Start with the general cattleya conditions of bright light, intermediate temps with a day/night temp drop, air flow, and careful watering and go from there. Most of my hybrid catts are hardy and forgiving, so with luck yours will be as well.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Catherine
