How to grow Cattleya orchids? Follow "3 points" for串串, colorful, and continuous blooming
1. First of all, when growing Cattleya orchids, the first point to note is the potting soil, as their roots are fleshy. It is important to choose a loose, breathable, and well-draining soil, and then add some decomposed leaf soil or peat, as well as some granular soil or a small amount of ceramic stones, which can increase breathability and drainage.
2. Secondly, when watering Cattleya orchids, also pay attention. In winter, control the watering and do not overwater. The lower the temperature, the less watering is needed. Additionally, Cattleya orchids kept indoors should not be watered too much. During the growing season, the soil should be kept slightly moist, with a slightly increased water supply to maintain adequate moisture. And during the growing season, fertilizers should be used, with nitrogen and phosphorus-potassium fertilizers not to be neglected, as this will help the orchids bloom more.
