Hi.
""This will be for a Cattleya hybrid"".
I have grown Cattleya from flasks "but" keep them inside my house on a hot bed untill they are harden off (about 3 months old) then placed them in the shade house in late spring.
In our area it usually does not get below 10 c in winter and they did ok until a cold winter of 5 C wipe most of them out (seedling) so I would only try it again if I live in an area where winter temp. did not fall below 15%+
So I now have placed them in a controlled Orchid house (were they presently are).

Cheerio
Ron
