The Cattleya (CAT-lee-ah) is the quintessential corsage orchid.  Their flowers are immediately recognized as an orchid. Cattleya flowers are large, long-lasting, and are immensely satisfying to grow.


TEMPERATURE

Grow your Cattleya with intermediate temperatures (55°-60° F/13°-15.6°C) at night with warmer temperatures (70°-85°F/21°-29° C) during the day.

TIPS

Cattleyas have been heavily hybridized. For best results, look for award-winning clones. Full-size Cattleyas can grow very large, if growing space is at a premium, choose a miniature Cattleya.
