I saw this post, so I went and looked at the plant to see if it had a sheath or not. Because I really had not noticed if it did or didn’t. Now I am not an expert, just a hobbyist, I do have a degree biology and agronomy, (doesn’t count for much when it comes to orchiids, all rules go out the window) but all cattleyas bloom from a sheath, weather it is green, brown, dry, new, big or small, they all bloom from a sheath. I will try to post a photo of it. But it does have a sheath, although it is very small and I would call it a bud sheath more than a leaf or leaf like sheath.
As far as culture is is easy (sorry to those who struggle with these) to grow if you give it general cattleya culture. Chunky bark, the bigger the better. You can also mount it, if you like. water a couple of times a week, more if hot. Let dry between waterings, less in the winter/cooler months. Good air movement, ample light, not full sun but enough to make the leaves turn red/purple on the edges or spots. Usually if you wave your hand over it and you can see a shadow, it is ample enough light. Fertilize it when you want, weekly/weakly, and you should be good. If you have more questions, let me know. Happy to help
