beautiful flower! What kind of artificial light to you use to grow your Cattleyas?
Are they the T5HO that is really bright?Thanks!
I use T5s four tubes 1.5 feet from plants, getting about 2200 fc.
6500K x 2 tunesHow about spectral characteristics of tubes (eg. Kelvin)?
Yes the 4 feet high intensity rubes from sunblaster.Are they the T5HO that is really bright?
It's a vigorous clone that I've cut off 4 pieces over last 3 years. Each cut triggers side branches.How do you manage to get so many leads?
Thanks SB, the other leads on mine might still bloom eventhough new growths are starting. Yours might too but best if they grow over this year to get stronger with new roots.Striking!! Mine is still blooming on the one lead (original two blooms), but the other leads aren’t progressing. At least not yet.
Was just watering and noticed one of the sheaths has buds! Yay!!Thanks SB, the other leads on mine might still bloom eventhough new growths are starting. Yours might too but best if they grow over this year to get stronger with new roots.
Thanks, maybe on day when I have more experience under my belt I'll try that.It's a vigorous clone that I've cut off 4 pieces over last 3 years. Each cut triggers side branches.
Several reasons:Its a lovely flower.
Can I ask how you know this isnt a hybrid?
