I have used your videos as my single source of orchid information for years. Your descriptions, instructions, examples, and demeanor are exceptional. Thank you for helping us have these beautiful plants in our homes and patios!❤
I have learned so much from Miss O over the years and so enjoy her updated methods and videos. In addition, I have referred so many people to her videos who now are confident orchid enthusiasts!
I got into orchids because I ran out of gardens ( mine and my mother's ) to work upon. I love your video series because they are something like: "orchids for dummies" that has made keeping orchids for me so simple. Now I'm going to need a bigger house !
Amazing video!! I just happened to get my first Cattleya yesterday, yayyy, so this came in perfect timing. Thank you!! It's always a pleasure watching your videos.
Hi Dani, I truly enjoyed this video. So informative. I have 5 Cattleyas in my collection. 3 near blooming size and 2 seedlings, so I have a bit of time before I hopefully see some flowers. I am enjoying watching them progress and they seem to like what I'm doing. Hope to see more tutorials from you like this one. Thanks so much. 🌼🌻🌺🌹🏵💮🌸💐🌷🌱
Hope yours are doing well a year later!!! I got my first one today (Proc. Golden Peacock). Curious how long it will take for a Seedling plant with a few leaves and some decent roots formed to mature with bulbs and bloom. I’m guessing 1-2 years but unsure what timeframe I should generally expect. Appreciate any input. Thank you!!
I watched this 3 years ago out of idle curiosity, but have rewatched it today because I just bought a couple of these orchids. You should be so proud that your content is always relevant and informative Dani. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤
The one at 26:45 is absolutely gorgeous! Loved the video, it was very helpful! I've had mind for a while but it hasn't bloomed so I am going to try your tips!
I had some bad luck with Cattleyas here as they needed repotting soon but the plant would always shed all old roots in a new pot. After I repot one when this video came out, it grew two plump canes and the roots have spread all around, a lot of the tips peaking near the sidea of the pot. I'm so happy!
Bought one from the plant store today, it's my first ever of this type. It was originally planted in wet dirt covered in green moss. Instantly repotted it at home with bark
You are an INCREDIBLE presenter. (Would almost swear that you have been a teacher.) Your video is so easy to follow and extremely helpful to beginners. You reach your listener/viewer through your presentation style. RePotMe is fortunate to have you as a partner! Learned something new about cattleyas from this video. Thanks!
I love my orchids and I added a Cattleya to my orchid family about six months ago. I purchased it in full bloom and it was beautiful. I watched this video twice until I felt comfortable and was now sure that it needed to be re-potted. The steps provided were excellent and I know just what to look for as it begins to bloom again. I live in a very warm climate so I grow them on our lanai. Last year I purchased all new pots from ' Repotme' and all of my orchids now have new homes. Thank you for your help, education and great videos. Thank you.
I have majority of cattleyas in collection, they r the easiest Orchids to grow, and they were also the first to adapt in semihydro,i grow them in semihydro, and just lovee it..
I've just purchased 2 very small catts plants , these are new to me. Loved the video on their care. One is orange and the other one is green. They are very small, each in a 2 inch pot. The potting med seems dense to me. Thinking of repotting them.
This was really useful for a relatively new cattleya grower like me! A greenhouse in the UK isn’t the best place for cattleyas! Nevertheless, I’m giving it a go. Great video.
Greetings from South Georgia USA. I live about 45 minutes from Okefenokee Swamp. We have hot Summers and lots of humidity. We also have a few really cold Winter nights at least every other year - coldest I remember is two nights in a row of 17 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a great video and I have watched it several times. I just purchased three Better-Gro Cattleyas in 2” pots from our local Loews. They were only $10 USD each and the leaves look very healthy. They were really well-packed, completely encased in protective netting with wire hoop to keep them from getting damaged. These are my first Cattleyas. I am watching your helpful videos today, trying to decide on medium for reporting either medium bark or LECA. I am almost sure I have decided against sphagnum moss for this variety. I have some new 4.5” breathable slotted pots, I am hoping they are small enough since these are in 2” pots right now. Currently they also have a layer of green moss - my first time seeing this. Thank you so much for offering all the videos. Thanks to your helpful videos I’m really enjoying my new hobby! Laurie T
I have a cattleya that I had in a terra cotta orchid pot in bark that never thrived for two years. The leaves fell off leaving a bunch of naked canes and the leaves that were left were always shriveled and yellowish. Then after seeing a friend’s cattleya setup that were thriving I decided to replicate it. I repotted my cattleya in a large wide glass container (like a really big fish bowl) without drainage holes and the medium was a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and small bark pieces, and topped off with a layer of coconut fiber. I lightly water it once a week, feed it once every two weeks with a 1/4 diluted all purpose orchid fertilizer, and since the container is glass I can see the amount of liquid collected at the bottom. I have it next to a western facing window with a sheer curtain which is bathed in sunlight 12 hours a day (I live in Northern California). Lo and behold, the cattleya started shooting up cane after cane, and the leaves are green and healthy. It’s been over 6 months since I repotted it and it’s healthy as can be. I can’t explain it either. I’m just so happy I was able to rescue this baby. Its flower is bright yellow with a magenta lip. Have you ever heard of such a set up for a cattleya? I’m really interested in your professional opinion on this. Thanks for the great videos btw.
Hi, the problem with drainless containers is that they will accumulate salt and organics in time and it's really hard to flush them. They can do great for a while and then everything can fall apart really fast and sudden. If you know how to manage this, then everything is possible. If not, just be mindful it could happen. It's personally not a setup for me, but I'm sure others are happy with it ☺️
@@MissOrchidGirl You are so right. I decided to heed your expert advice and dismantle the closed glass set up. The cattleya looks so healthy above ground but below it had no roots! There were lots of dead and decaying roots but barely any discernible healthy roots. The medium didn't smell at all and it didn't look rotten. I am totally confused how it looks so healthy with multiple new large sprouting canes and healthy green leaves. I trimmed off all the dead roots, gave it a good wash, and repotted it in a mix of mostly medium bark chips with some pumice and sphagnum moss, this time in a well draining pot. I placed the pot in the same glass vessel that used to house the cattleya with a 1 inch layer of gravel on the bottom and added water for extra humidity. The glass vessel is shallow enough to allow for some air circulation.
where do you get your green wire cages for your catleya? been looking online - can't find them. thanks. love your videos and have been following you for several years!
Great video as mentioned multiple times. Thanks. It Covid-19 times here in the states and orchid show are cancelled... So I'm having trouble finding cattleya around me. Do you have a grower/seller of cattleya here in the states that you can recommend?
Jerry Hemphill I have ordered online from ‘Orchids by Hausermann’ just outside of Chicago. Beautiful Cattleyas that were shipped with care and arrived in excellent condition. I plan on ordering from them again and again!
I live in Bali and grow orchids outdoors. I live on the coast and BLC Cattleya grow best here, they are recommended for the lowlands of Indonesia as they prefer more heat. LC Cattleya grow better in the mountainous regions, they like it a bit cooler.
Hi Danny! I just found your UA-cam channel last weekend and I find it so helpful and informative even though I’m already familiar with phalaenopsis orchids. I just got my first RLC and I need to repot, as the roots are growing over the side of the current pot. I am concerned about repotting at the right time. It currently has a new, well- developed spike (I’m not sure if it is fully developed though, but it is pretty big and is growing a new sheath). I’m a bit scared to repot (I don’t want to set it back before it has a chance to bloom this fall). What do you think would be a good time to repot? Should I fertilize after to minimize shock? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
Super helpful! I really appreciate you starting with the differences between phaelenopsis and cattleyas bc I am Brand New to orchids and your channel is the first time I'm really learning about em
I am becoming a true orchid grower thanks to you. Someone gave a me a mini Phal and now I can’t stop growing orchids. As soon as I repot my catlleyas I’m gonna go on the hunt for a Vanda!!!!
Great video even though I can't handle fragrant orchids I really enjoy learning more about them all. Are you doing or have you done a care series on Oncidiums ?
......another awesome video to start the weekend. :) Thanks Danny. I think I overdid it with sphagnum moss when I re-pot my orchids almost 2 weeks ago. I "tried" your technique (chaining the sphagnum moss throughout the pot w/ bark) but I think I used too much moss. The reason I say that is because I watered it on the day I re-potted (12 days ago to be exact), and I have not had to water it since. The moss has stayed moist for the last 12 days. It's a big difference from when I was watering/soaking it basically everyday. It is winter where and I am at, but of course my orchids are indoors. Is it normal for the moss to stay moist that long? :) Thanks again Danny, for all your help.
Hi, it's a bit long for a Catt indeed, but in summer the moss might just be ideal! Here's my idea: just run some water through the pot at your next watering, just a few seconds. In this way you will deliver a small quantity of water and practically not saturate the moss, but just dampen it. It will hydrate the orchid but it will dry faster! Hope it works! ☺️
Hi Danny, thank you for this video it was so much help in the care of Cattleya's and how to re-pot them. I have a few and I am waiting for them to bloom soon. Can you do a video on different types of Laelia's please. Thank you, I am glad that you are feeling better as well. Have a great day.
Hi, well there aren't all that many different types, especially that many have been reclassified as Cattleya now. But I have an ongoing experiment on rupicolous Laelias, check it here ua-cam.com/video/cuR5DirvJjY/v-deo.html
Hi Dani, I’m so glad I found you!! Love your videos - so incredibly informative. I just purchased my first Cattleya and am wondering if it is okay to cut the older canes when the plant gets mature
Hello Miss Orchid girl , can you tell me how or where you bought the green half cage you use to contain your canes of the cattleyas . And how you clip them to the plastic pots you have . Thanks
The green support is called a “tomato cage” and they’re available at any nursery or hardware store. I’ve only seen the orchid clips at “Repotme.com”; they included one as a gift with my pot order. You can substitute string or cut-up-pantyhose as ties, but clips are more convenient...
I have a HUGE Cattleya. It's in a 14 inch terracotta pot outside and it fills it completely up. I bring it inside in the winter. It was given to me at least 15- 18 years ago by an elderly real estate client of mine who had to move in with his niece in Kansas. We are in Houston, Texas. How do you separate or divide one...or is that even possible without damaging the orchid?
thank you for another great vid Danni. maybe you or another viewer can help me? I love love LOVE the look of repotmes things, but if i want them to deliver to me in DK i have to pay 150 us dollars for shipment on a 155 usd order and i just can't afford to pay that for barkchips and some spongerock. does anyone know of a company in eu that sells supplies? cause my options in DK for good quality bark medium is very limited.
I am struggling with a Ctna orchid, which is apparently some type of Cattleya hybrid. I bought it from a reputable seller and was in a tiny pot, so I repotted it in Leca and semi-hydro. After a month or so, I realized it had some leaves yellowing, so I unpotted it and saw she had only rotten roots, which had to be removed. Re-potted her in a mixture of bark and sphagnum moss, which has now resulted in crown rot. Now there are only two healthy-looking leaves, and still no new roots. I fear It was the moss that kept her too wet. What should I repot her in?
Hi I love your videos and have becomes really big fan . I have just purchased my first Cattleya seedling a month ago . I keep it in in bright window but not shaded from sun and potted in bark and moss . Please help as 4 off its 5 leaves are now very yellow and I think I’m killing it . What am I doing wrong . Xx
I love “repotme” for African Violet supplies. My minis are doing great in their pots, and my Thanksgiving cactus loves their cactus mix! I don’t have any orchids yet, but Cattleyas are on my wishlist!
Another fabulous video Dani. I really get so much out of them. I have one catlya who refuses to bloom. Every leaf that grows gets me excited that maybe this will be the time it blooms and it never does. The foliage is awesome on it and it’s time to repot it. I was wondering about Keiki, do catlya have them?
This is so thorough and informative. Thank you so much for putting this instructional video together. For someone new to orchid horticulture this is Really appreciated.
Does everyone know that a larger cattle ya can be made to branch as it were, in 2 different directions if you cut the rhizome after the eye? Sure you end up with 2 plants in the pot, but it makes for a great display!
Hi, well depends on the orchid and especially with Cattleyas it can greatly vary. Anywhere from a couple of weeks to a few months. If a Cattleya only grows one cane per year, it can take over half a year, depending on the season. It's best to avoid this scenario, but not all Catts grow like this, flowershop Catts almost always grow more than one cane per year 😉
You've given me renewed confidence to try catlayas. My situation is not ideal for orchids in general, and catlayas in particular. Lack of light during the winter is the biggest problem, and the winters tend to be cold (typically, home temp below 18c). I suppose I could install grow lights and turn up the heat, but not sure my landlord would approve. In any event, I I'll be trying to use one window that gets more western light during the winter, and is near a radiator. The humidity is relatively high year-round. During the summer, I could put some plants outside on a small patio, which worked well for my cymbidiums last year. Could you suggest anything I've overlooked here? Can you suggest any orchids which might appreciate my environment? Keep running, toots! I look forward to your missives. - Stephen in Santander
Hi, even if temperatures drop a bit in winter, it's still ok. The Catts might slow down a bit, but they will pick up growth in summer. If you can provide bright light, even supplement with artificial in winter, they should do great. Careful to shelter them from direct sun when outside in the heat!
Hi Danny! Thank you so much for this video! I already asked in another video, but I don't think you saw that comment, so I'll ask again if you could consider do a video like this, explain care, repotting and so on, about cymbidium orchids... I love your channel💖💖
I enjoy your videos! I'm having problems with my Cattleya type orchids. I've got them under artificial light indoors. Originally 16-hrs/day-now down to 12 or so. They're growing roots like CRAZY and are trying to flower. They keep developing flower sheaths but they always dry up and die before they get even started. I water about once a week, soaking them for 10 minutes or so as you suggest. Any thoughts on why the flowers die before coming out of the sheaths? I have some in baskets and have repotted by putting them in a bigger basket with new medium (from RePotMe, of course!).
Hey, I know that you asked over a year ago but I still like to share my thoughts as to why your blooms die. I have the exact same issue: flowersheets that were green and then suddenly turned brown and became dry. What do I do?! -Absolutely nothing! Leave the sheets be, don't cut them, be patient. I typically get the brown sheets in late autumn, they don't grow/change during winter, but in spring -when it gets warmer- I notice that flowerspikes start to grow inside the "dead" brown sheets and I get beautiful blooms. So, just be patient :) I hope this helped and I'd love to know whether you had success with your cattleya-blooms in the past year since you posted :) please let me know :D
I bought one recently and all the roots were rotten. I have kept it alive for three months, but I'm worried about it. What is the best medium? I had it in bark but the leaves where wrinkling up so I changed to ortho orchids mix, but I think it stays wet too long, and I can't find the sphagnum moss here so I need some advice if any one can help l , and my little baby cattelya, would appreciate it. Thank you.
Hi, if the orchid doesn't have roots, it will dehydrate no matter the medium used. When new roots start to grow and absorb water the orchid will start to look better. That can take a while though with Cattleyas
@@MissOrchidGirl thanks for replying. Now two leaves have turned brown and fell off. I don't have much hope for it, but I won't throw it out until it's obviously dead.
This was an amazing video and so informative! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I'll have to check out repotme, I've never been on their site before. The orange orchid flowers are absolutely gorgeous, wow! It's always such a pleasure to see you ❤ I live in Central Florida and these are perfect for my climate. I'm finding myself collecting the cattleya varieties more and more. Have a beautiful day💮🌿 I really love the look of them over the others for some reason 😊
Thank you thank you for mentioning potinaras! I was having a HORRIBLE time trying to figure out what kind of orchid class it belonged to and how to care for it. So good, Danny!
Great videos!! I recently started growing Cattleyas and have four little ones I got in the mail. They seem to be in good shape. What is the orange one in your video? I LOVE it!!
Many thanks for your clear explanations.I just start following your site I live in Dakar West Africa is it possible to order.from Dakar I would love to order.catleya orchides they are beautiful please let me know Many.thanks
Dannie can you send me some of your pretty orchids please I love watching your videos I love flowers so much am fr Jamaica text me let me know thank you
thanks for your wonderful videos, I wanted to ask you something; Some time ago you made a video where you showed that you had all your phals and cats in leca, but I no longer see you using it, what is the reason? Thanks, I love your channel.

Yes vandas are beautiful.. my mom was a collector of Vanda orchids....too bad she's gone but her Vanda orchids are still around...
i love ur video very interesting now i know how to care cattleya orchids.
Can you tell me where you find the wire structure that holds the canes upright?
Great video even though I can't handle fragrant orchids I really enjoy learning more about them all. Are you doing or have you done a care series on Oncidiums ?
Hi, yep next tutorial is on Oncidiums ☺️
@@MissOrchidGirl So happy to hear that looking forward to is so much. need help
Inside flower fragrance is obnoxious and gives me a headache. Outside the scents are heavenly! I'll be growing mine outdoors for most of the year.
Good video. Very informative 👍
wooow. thanks for that great explanation. you are amazing.
I agree. Danny ALWAYS says care tips are relevant to your specific climate and growing conditions! Shame on ANYONE that trashes another.
Yes, I live in “the Pacific Northwest” of North America, very different from a Mediterranean island!!!
......another awesome video to start the weekend. :) Thanks Danny.
I think I overdid it with sphagnum moss when I re-pot my orchids almost 2 weeks ago. I "tried" your technique (chaining the sphagnum moss throughout the pot w/ bark) but I think I used too much moss. The reason I say that is because I watered it on the day I re-potted (12 days ago to be exact), and I have not had to water it since. The moss has stayed moist for the last 12 days. It's a big difference from when I was watering/soaking it basically everyday. It is winter where and I am at, but of course my orchids are indoors. Is it normal for the moss to stay moist that long? :) Thanks again Danny, for all your help.
Hi, it's a bit long for a Catt indeed, but in summer the moss might just be ideal! Here's my idea: just run some water through the pot at your next watering, just a few seconds. In this way you will deliver a small quantity of water and practically not saturate the moss, but just dampen it. It will hydrate the orchid but it will dry faster! Hope it works! ☺️
Please share how to repot a dehydrated, rootless Cattleya which is still alive! I have already killed many cattleyas 😔
Hi Danny, thank you for this video it was so much help in the care of Cattleya's and how to re-pot them. I have a few and I am waiting for them to bloom soon. Can you do a video on different types of Laelia's please. Thank you, I am glad that you are feeling better as well. Have a great day.
Hi, well there aren't all that many different types, especially that many have been reclassified as Cattleya now. But I have an ongoing experiment on rupicolous Laelias, check it here ua-cam.com/video/cuR5DirvJjY/v-deo.html
I can’t wait to add cattleyas to my collection!
Beautiful video very interesting I like very much Tank You to to give to us
Hi Dani, I’m so glad I found you!! Love your videos - so incredibly informative. I just purchased my first Cattleya and am wondering if it is okay to cut the older canes when the plant gets mature
Awesome video Thanks
Hello Miss Orchid girl , can you tell me how or where you bought the green half cage you use to contain your canes of the cattleyas . And how you clip them to the plastic pots you have .
Thanks
Where did you get the green half basket?
The green support is called a “tomato cage” and they’re available at any nursery or hardware store. I’ve only seen the orchid clips at “Repotme.com”; they included one as a gift with my pot order. You can substitute string or cut-up-pantyhose as ties, but clips are more convenient...
I have a HUGE Cattleya. It's in a 14 inch terracotta pot outside and it fills it completely up. I bring it inside in the winter. It was given to me at least 15- 18 years ago by an elderly real estate client of mine who had to move in with his niece in Kansas. We are in Houston, Texas. How do you separate or divide one...or is that even possible without damaging the orchid?
thank you for another great vid Danni. maybe you or another viewer can help me? I love love LOVE the look of repotmes things, but if i want them to deliver to me in DK i have to pay 150 us dollars for shipment on a 155 usd order and i just can't afford to pay that for barkchips and some spongerock. does anyone know of a company in eu that sells supplies? cause my options in DK for good quality bark medium is very limited.
I am struggling with a Ctna orchid, which is apparently some type of Cattleya hybrid. I bought it from a reputable seller and was in a tiny pot, so I repotted it in Leca and semi-hydro. After a month or so, I realized it had some leaves yellowing, so I unpotted it and saw she had only rotten roots, which had to be removed. Re-potted her in a mixture of bark and sphagnum moss, which has now resulted in crown rot. Now there are only two healthy-looking leaves, and still no new roots. I fear It was the moss that kept her too wet. What should I repot her in?
Hi I love your videos and have becomes really big fan . I have just purchased my first
Cattleya seedling a month ago . I keep it in in bright window but not shaded from sun and potted in bark and moss . Please help as 4 off its 5 leaves are now very yellow and I think I’m killing it . What am I doing wrong . Xx
I am new to this hobby and now I am shopping most of my materials from repotme. Thanks for sharing very informative videos.❤️
I love “repotme” for African Violet supplies. My minis are doing great in their pots, and my Thanksgiving cactus loves their cactus mix! I don’t have any orchids yet, but Cattleyas are on my wishlist!
Another fabulous video Dani. I really get so much out of them. I have one catlya who refuses to bloom. Every leaf that grows gets me excited that maybe this will be the time it blooms and it never does. The foliage is awesome on it and it’s time to repot it. I was wondering about Keiki, do catlya have them?
Thank you very much for the video. I was wanted to ask you for it after finishing the phalaenopsis series. Very informative like always.
What is the wire halo around the midsection of the orchid called/where can I purchase this? I can't see it linked in the description. 🙏
Where we can buy that kind of catleaorchid ? It is very beautiful colours..?
This is so thorough and informative. Thank you so much for putting this instructional video together. For someone new to orchid horticulture this is Really appreciated.
Hola hermosa, QUE BELLO POEMA SON LAS CATTLEYAS. ❤️❤️
Should I use a self watering pot with cattleya? Are they good for phaleanopsis?
Just got a new stlma. Kelly Lea, looking for help on repotting as it’s only a seedling.
Does everyone know that a larger cattle ya can be made to branch as it were, in 2 different directions if you cut the rhizome after the eye? Sure you end up with 2 plants in the pot, but it makes for a great display!
If the mature cattleya has a lot of canes , can I remove the canes that won’t flower anymore?
Hey Danny I have a question about orchids with out roots, and the question is ?
How long it takes for an orchid to grow new roots?
After repotting
Hi, well depends on the orchid and especially with Cattleyas it can greatly vary. Anywhere from a couple of weeks to a few months. If a Cattleya only grows one cane per year, it can take over half a year, depending on the season. It's best to avoid this scenario, but not all Catts grow like this, flowershop Catts almost always grow more than one cane per year 😉
Hi there, I would like to know if Cattleya's have any sort of winter rest ?
You've given me renewed confidence to try catlayas. My situation is not ideal for orchids in general, and catlayas in particular. Lack of light during the winter is the biggest problem, and the winters tend to be cold (typically, home temp below 18c).
I suppose I could install grow lights and turn up the heat, but not sure my landlord would approve. In any event, I I'll be trying to use one window that gets more western light during the winter, and is near a radiator. The humidity is relatively high year-round. During the summer, I could put some plants outside on a small patio, which worked well for my cymbidiums last year. Could you suggest anything I've overlooked here? Can you suggest any orchids which might appreciate my environment? Keep running, toots! I look forward to your missives. - Stephen in Santander
Hi, even if temperatures drop a bit in winter, it's still ok. The Catts might slow down a bit, but they will pick up growth in summer. If you can provide bright light, even supplement with artificial in winter, they should do great. Careful to shelter them from direct sun when outside in the heat!
Lovely video.can you guide regarding catelya diseases
First! Love your videos.
Excellent information and very well explained. Do they have a very strong fragrance?
Hi Danny! Thank you so much for this video!
I already asked in another video, but I don't think you saw that comment, so I'll ask again if you could consider do a video like this, explain care, repotting and so on, about cymbidium orchids...
I love your channel💖💖
My mini Phal has black root tips that weren’t able to develop, will it be okay? It doesn’t seem to have pests
Hi, it sounds like hard water or over fertilisation. Do check how you are with salt buildup in the medium!
7:02 What kind of Cattleya is that? It‘s beaitiful! It reminds me a bit of Cattleya dowiana because of the colours. It‘s beautiful!
and what are your thoughts on time released fertilizer?
I enjoy your videos! I'm having problems with my Cattleya type orchids. I've got them under artificial light indoors. Originally 16-hrs/day-now down to 12 or so. They're growing roots like CRAZY and are trying to flower. They keep developing flower sheaths but they always dry up and die before they get even started. I water about once a week, soaking them for 10 minutes or so as you suggest. Any thoughts on why the flowers die before coming out of the sheaths? I have some in baskets and have repotted by putting them in a bigger basket with new medium (from RePotMe, of course!).
Hey, I know that you asked over a year ago but I still like to share my thoughts as to why your blooms die.
I have the exact same issue: flowersheets that were green and then suddenly turned brown and became dry.
What do I do?! -Absolutely nothing! Leave the sheets be, don't cut them, be patient. I typically get the brown sheets in late autumn, they don't grow/change during winter, but in spring -when it gets warmer- I notice that flowerspikes start to grow inside the "dead" brown sheets and I get beautiful blooms.
So, just be patient :)
I hope this helped and I'd love to know whether you had success with your cattleya-blooms in the past year since you posted :) please let me know :D
I bought one recently and all the roots were rotten. I have kept it alive for three months, but I'm worried about it. What is the best medium? I had it in bark but the leaves where wrinkling up so I changed to ortho orchids mix, but I think it stays wet too long, and I can't find the sphagnum moss here so I need some advice if any one can help l , and my little baby cattelya, would appreciate it. Thank you.
Hi, if the orchid doesn't have roots, it will dehydrate no matter the medium used. When new roots start to grow and absorb water the orchid will start to look better. That can take a while though with Cattleyas
@@MissOrchidGirl thanks for replying. Now two leaves have turned brown and fell off. I don't have much hope for it, but I won't throw it out until it's obviously dead.
so I'm officially into orchids now...
Did not know what you said., but your video content was quite a thing to watch!
This was an amazing video and so informative! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I'll have to check out repotme, I've never been on their site before. The orange orchid flowers are absolutely gorgeous, wow! It's always such a pleasure to see you ❤ I live in Central Florida and these are perfect for my climate. I'm finding myself collecting the cattleya varieties more and more. Have a beautiful day💮🌿 I really love the look of them over the others for some reason 😊
Very useful tips on orchid-care!
Thank you thank you for mentioning potinaras! I was having a HORRIBLE time trying to figure out what kind of orchid class it belonged to and how to care for it. So good, Danny!
Great job and thank you for sharing your knowledge’
Where can I find the supporting stakes
Do cattleyas lose roots when potted?
Can you propagate cattleya by dividing the rhizome.? ❤
Hi, yes you can 😊
My cattleyas are a light green and and shriveled by the 3rd or 2nd newest pseudo bulbs is this normal?
Great videos!! I recently started growing Cattleyas and have four little ones I got in the mail. They seem to be in good shape. What is the orange one in your video? I LOVE it!!
Hi, it's an aurantiaca hybrid I believe, but a NoID ☺️
@@MissOrchidGirl thanks for your response, I will find it! LOL
I bought a tiny Cattleya orchid plantlet from the Singapore orchid garden in November last year it’s very small but is thriving
Many thanks for your clear explanations.I just start following your site I live in Dakar West Africa is it possible to order.from Dakar I would love to order.catleya orchides they are beautiful please let me know Many.thanks
Dannie can you send me some of your pretty orchids please I love watching your videos I love flowers so much am fr Jamaica text me let me know thank you
Thank you very interesting.
thanks for your wonderful videos, I wanted to ask you something; Some time ago you made a video where you showed that you had all your phals and cats in leca, but I no longer see you using it, what is the reason? Thanks, I love your channel.
Hi, yes I gave it up over a year ago due to the amount of watering I had to perform, which was beyond my comfort ☺️
Great information. I would like to try Cattlia orchids
