Hi Subrosa, I love this Cattleya but I haven't the right conditions: I'll see yours when blooming.
I'd also like to know how are you growing them:I see caly pots and Leca. Could you tell me some more?

Of course it's only been a couple days, but I'm growing them the same as I grow most of my Cattleya. Leca in terra cotta pots in trays of water. Lighting is currently leds but when temps permit it will be outside. If these bloom this season I'll claim full enjoyment but none of the credit!

Subrosa I wish there was time. That would be an all day trip for me and my hubby is working this weekend on his old antique pickup truck. I am the light holder, tool getter, moral support lol.

If you go again today, enjoy!

Put your and his schedules into an online calendar. He can see in advance what you will have him doing on any given day in the future, and know not to double-book himself. LOL.
