| Welcome Annie. Can you update your profile with your location. This will help greatly with any advice being offered. I have a Stlma. Kelly 'Lea'. Love this little plant. Mine is in a 4" basket that it has easily outgrown... but is too entangled with the wood to remove. As such, there is no longer any media to retain moisture. With mine it would be close to impossible to overwater. My plant can tolerate strong light but receives more light bright indirect light. It still blooms with every new growth. It seems like it is always working on new growths jsut as soon as it's done blooming. Note that this is for my own plant which is grown indoors in a rather dry environment. Your conditions might be vastly different than mine.      |

| Welcome Annie!  I'm pretty new to orchids, so I tend to sit back and read everyone elses advice! Vivienne knows what she's talking about, I know that for sure. As she states, when we know where you are, it will help with advice. Good luck- and glad to have you here!

| It's a hybrid in the Cattleya Alliance. Get a culture sheet form this forum or from the American Orchid Society. Give it a read and let us know if you have any questions.

| It is one of my favorite Cattleya hybrids. It grows new leaves continuously and every new growth blooms. It has been out of production this year. You will enjoy it immensely. All growing conditions are normal Cattleya. 3500 foot candles of light (summer noon sun with no shade is 10,000 foot candles), Water heavy and then let dry out before watering again. Nothing special
