This is a rather sad little cattleya. It has two roots, one for the second pb and is growing another for the newest one. The reason I thought it would do well mounted is that it has a peculiar habit of starting roots from a point on the pb instead of from the rhizome. The larger division of the same plant is doing the same thing. I was actually wondering if anyone else has encountered this. The roots appear healthy, they just have a long way to grow to bury in the medium. The hybrid is SLC Red Delight and I think it has quite a bit of sophronitis in it. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.
