Cattleya Percivaliana Alberts
Hello everyone, after doing a bit of research on my percivaliana I have learned that this plant is actually a lithophyte. Therefore, I'm strongly considering transplanting one of my divisions to a semi-hydroponic setup to compare the effects of semi-hydroponic setup vs standard orchid mix on the plant. Anyone here that have a perci with similar setup? Any particular advice before I go ahead and do this? If have any pics please share. Thanks! :)

I do, but I have not seen it in a year so I really do not know how it is doing. When I started it did not have that great a root system and I only had it for a few months prior. Cattleya mossie, lueddemanniana, jenmanii, and maxima love the stuff if that helps any.

Alex, I have not heard that it is dead. I have been away on business in Qatar since January 09. My teenage daughter has been taking care of the orchids in my absence.

I have mine in semi-hydro and its growing nicely. I haven't gotten it to bloom yet, but it is throwing out nice long leaves. Well, I will have to check it out when I get home. Its one of those I kinda ignore. I'll have more accurate info later tonight.

@ TYRDYL : Oh I see...good to know, maybe when you get back you can post some pics of it. Thanks! But from the looks of it, I think that its a bit too late for me to be transplanting my division as I have notice that it's already starting to spring new leads. :/
Maybe later on I'll set this up once the growth process has stopped. |

This is my C. Percivaliana. I've had it three years. I grow it in Hydroton (LECA) in a clay pot. It's not s/h. I water heavily and then let it completey dry out. |
