I purchase a cattleya at H.D. It was a seedling about 4" high in a tiny
pot. Cost was less than $5.00 Did I throw my money out? Took it home
and repotted in a 4" plastic pot with many drain holes on the base.
Potted it in bark wih mixture of sphagnum moss. ( for water retention)
Leaves now fairly rigid and dark green. Placed it on patio with other
orchids ( phals in flower) and it is in dappled sun. Any suggestions?
Patio faces southwest and is screend in.
