I have become an Orchid collector. They are such Wonderful Plants. I have 3 Phal plants that i am in love with. This weekend I went to a Local Walmart and decided to go over to the gardening section. The Phal that walmart had were not in good condition and very unhealthy looking. But I did notice they had Lavender Cattleya Seedlings for like $5.00 each. Two of which were really Healthy looking so I figured what the heck and bought them. When I got home I checked the plants completly. I have not tryed my hand at any other Orchid other than Phalaenopsis. The Leaves on the Cattleya are very fleshy, sturdy and Green and the roots are in very good condition. I have been reading on them and am confused?? I know Phal cannot take Direct sunlight. For Cattleya I am reading they can take full sun. Does this mean Direct Sunlight?? What are good tips to care for my new seedlings to grow them into healthy mature plant?? and how long before they reach blooming maturity??
