Cattleya Culture - Part 3
Though this link is much more important for a novice like myself, I thought it may be informative given the "stair-stepping" mentioned towards the bottom of the page, and the same happening with in the most previously posted pics. There is tons of great info if you search around a bit on the site

Thanks for the link, CB14.
I've read it before but it's always good to read it again.  |

Haha, I just discovered it a few days ago in trying to absorb what I can about cattleyas. I just bought my 1st 2 recently.

So far, I find catts and related one of the easiest to grow under my conditions. They're all hybrids, except the anceps... maybe that's why (I have 3 plants).

Do you think this is too much?
Just in case I've moved it further away (1 m/ 3,3 ft) from the window (large south window, bright indirect light).

I like to see that kind of pigmentation. It means the plant is definitely getting enough light to bloom, if other factors are acceptable.

Me too but let me put it in context. The new growths were growing towards the window giving the plant an "unbalanced" look. So I've rotate it. Then came the time to rotate it again 180º, so the new growths side that was getting less light is now getting lots of it.
I think I'll keep it away from the window for a week or so until it get acclimatized to such light levels.

Hello, my friends
I'm not sure about this but it seems to be a sheath.
I've read that anceps tend to get a sticky substance on their leaves and one of the advises is to spray water on the leaves to take off the sticky subst to avoid the problem that it seems I'm having: a sticky sheath.
Advise needed on this one.
Thanks
