You growing these under lights or in a greenhouse? And do you get this
on both bifoliate and unifoliate cattleyas?

No, I don't know if those two questions will reveal anything useful..
Ever listen to Car Talk on NPR? They know better than to ask too many
questions.

I posted this on the OGD, but then Peter Croezen started up yammering about
some god forsaken place in South America, so I doubt anyone there will
answer me, they'll be too interested in watching the trainwreck that always
seems to follow Peter's posts.

So I come to rgo for your ideas.

For the past 2-3-4 years the inflorescences on my catts haven't been
emerging from their sheathes. The flowers opening inside the sheathe. This
has been getting worse and worse as time goes on. I turned over a new leaf
this January and have been taking better care of my orchids, being sure they
are watered, fertilized and disease free.

Yet the problem gets worse instead of better.

So what's up with that? What am I doing wrong? Too much light?
