Cattleya orchid is easy growing and planting. I want to share my experience about planting cattleya that I usually plant my cattleyas. It’s very easy and everyone can do it at your home.
| Step 1
|
|
| Cattlya seedling is in 1.5″ pot. | |
|
Step 2
|
|
|
Preparing - Larger pot ( 3″ is the best for the first repotting from 1.5″) - Mediums (Coconut husk chips or bark) - Foam chips (if you have) |
|
|
Step 3
|
|
|
Carefully remove the seedling from the pot. The roots have been winding around the pot and there is very little room for the roots of the next growth season. The mediums is not particularly broken down but this orchid needs a larger pot or the new pseudobulbs will grow outside the pot. We will repot with fresh mediums because we do not reuse old mediums. |
|
|
Step 4
|
|
|
Put the foam chips to the base of the pot. |
|
|
Step 5
|
|
|
Put the seedling into the pot with the coconut husk chips or bark ,make sure to compact is very well to hold the plant in position once you let go and that all the roots are in the compost. |
