Cattleya Hybrids Seedling

• The cattleya group is known for large group of flowering plants, showy, and sometimes fragrant flowers. Their presence is in most areas of the world and they are highly adaptive as a species. Most cattleya produces one new pseudobulb and produce flowers the same growing season. Some of the hybrids might produce two blooms annually.
• Cattleya Seedlings The plants are about 6 months out of flasks and plant size is about 5-12 cm. They are grown in 1.5 inches pot and it take about 8-12 months to bloom.

4 Factors affecting Orchid growth

• Humidity: Water is the main component in plant cell (about 90%). They use it for photosynthesis, as a solvent, to controlling the temperature and etc. Most of Orchids grow well in 60-80% relative humidity. They use water in Co2 fixation period. But don’t make their root too much wet.
• Light: The factors that affect the growth of orchids are light intensity, duration, and wavelength. No direct sunlight. 50-60% shaded net is recommended.
• Temperature:  25 – 30 ◦C at daytime and 15 – 20 ◦C at nighttime.

Orchids watering

• Time: Water them at 6.00-8.00 am.
• Frequency: Depends on your humidity and planting material. 1-2 times a day in dry or hot period.

Quality of water is important. Watering them a lot with good quality water, less watering when you have poor quality water. This concept should be in your mind.

Orchid fertilizer

• The nutrient absorption of orchid’s root depends on the amount of carbohydrate in leaves. And The absorption of Nitrate will increase with the amount of carbohydrate in root. When the orchids don’t have enough light or the temperature is high, you can add some sugar in fertilizer to increase the carbohydrate in plant.
• When you mix crystal fertilizer, you should add wetting agent or spreader but not Calcium (The solution will precipitate). For small and fast grow orchid which have good respond with Nitrogen such as Dendrobium or Cattleya. The recommend fertilizer grade is balanced grade (21-21-21 grade) and alternate with high N fertilizer grade (30-20-10 or 30-10-20 grade). When the weather is dry, use high N fertilizer grade for 2 times (1 time/week) and alternate with balanced grade for 1 time. In humid period, use high N fertilizer grade for 1 time alternate with balanced grade for 2 times or use 28-14-35 grade for all over the year.

Orchid Media:

• Normally in Thailand, we use coconut husk or charcoal as an Orchid media. But bark, sphagnum moss, perlite and cinder are also recommended. It depends on your climate and humidity.
• Orchids are air plants. They don’t like a compact media or soil. They need some space between their root to be able to breath. They don’t like too much water either. If you see some leaves turning yellow, take it out. It will stop spreading. This can be caused by over watering or lack of light. You can check it by touching the media.
