Cattleya luteola

It worked! Now they are perfect. Thanks, Ann.

And again, thank you to all who looked and commented, it's appreciated. And thank you to all who looked and refrained from commenting, I appreciate that too!

 

I do not rest mine at all, katiedid. I give it high light, water all year and mounted on some cork so I can be sure it dries good between waterings. During the short dark days of winter, I probably don't water as often but I never stop completely.

Hugh huimidity is preferred but I struggle with that during the winter months when the plants are inside the house. Temperatures are hot in the summer and warm in the winter, in my case.

A balanced or high-nitrogen fertilizer is good from spring to midsummer, but one high in phosphates should be used in late summer thru fall, according to the Baker sheet.

I hope this is helpful to you and maybe someone else could chime in on what is actual blooming size. This is my first bloom with this plant and for all I know, it's the last! LOL!
