Cattleyas light cycles and blooming
I have a question related with light and Catts' blooming.
In my country we have some distinct periods on which the light is not so strong due to cloud cover and rainy conditions.
Taken from the web:
There is an average of 3023 hours of sunlight per year (of a possible 4383) with an average of 8:16 of sunlight per day.
It is sunny 69% of daylight hours. The remaining 31% of daylight hours are likely cloudy or with shade, haze or low sun intensity.
Between end of Nov till middle Jan we have cloudy and rainy weather, and the rest of the year is mostly sunny, with disctinct seasons of warm/hot weather with high HR and partially cloudy (Sept and April/May).
I'm wondering how this affects the blooming.
Do Catts need high light intensity during the blooming season or in average during the year?
