Cattleyas

Cattleyas orchids are one of the easiest house plants to grow.

• They bloom once per year.
  
• They need bright light, but avoid direct sunlight.
  
• They can tolerate light shade in the summer.
• During growing season, water once per week and mist daily
  
• After growing, do not water for 6 to 10 weeks. This encourages good blooms the following year.
• At other times, water every two or three weeks and mist daily.
• Re-pot in spring if it's outgrown it's pot.
• Between March and September, apply half strength high nitrogen feed every two weeks.
  
• Between September and March, apply half strength high potash feed.
  

The flowers are so spectacular they are worth the effort
