Hi OB,

I have a question regarding Brassivola Nadosa hybrid seedlings, are they a bit faster growing than other cats? In general how long does it take to become blooming size from seedlings?

I am planning to get some Brassivola Nadosa hybrid seedlings, so I am curious if worth buying seedlings.

Thank you.

Are you specifically referring to nadosa crossed with a Cattleya? That's a very broad question and I suspect it could range from 2-6 years or longer and that would be from a 2 yo seedling.

In general, yes, Brassavola nodosa hybrids are more vigorous and grow faster than other Cattleya alliance hybrids, if you give them proper growing conditions.

One cannot give a general comment on maturation and blooming, as culture plays a huge role in that.

Two identical seedlings, one well-tended in a greenhouse and the other grown on a window sill, might differ by 5 or more years.

In my opinion Cattleya alliance hybrids with a high amount of Brassavola nodosa ancestry grow more vigorously and flower sooner than most other Cattleya alliance hybrids. This is the information the original poster wanted. Certainly cultural variables matter, but with good culture this is generally true.

Thanks for the reply.
I was tempted to buy some Brassivola hybrid seedlings but some of the online nurseries don't mention how many years to bloom, that's the reason I was curious but looks like better to buy a small quantity of blooming-size orchids than buy more seedling orchids if wait is longer

If you are in Vista, California, you should visit Sunset Valley Orchids. They sell a lot of Cattleya seedlings, many of which are blooming size or near blooming size.
