Time for Cattleya to bloom?
Hi. I just bought a few 6 - 7 inch tall potted Cattleya orchids.
I'm wondering approximately how long will it take for them to bloom (they will be indoors)? |

Ages,
My Cattleya var coerulea Mariauxi x self bloomed 2 weeks ago. http://personalpages.bellsouth.net/f...auxiself05.jpg Mick HBI, Producers of Fine Orchids in Flask www.OrchidFlask.com ======================================= wrote in message oups.com...

Mick, you are always so positive!
Let's put the question another way - how long since deflasking has your Cattleya var coerulea Mariauxi x self taken to flower? (By the way, lovely flower.) This might give agesofmyst a better idea of how long he might have to wait. Cheers John "Mick Fournier" wrote in message ...

Yikes, 2 to 3 years! I hope they're the medium sized ones then.
Let's see; here some of the names from the stakes: Blc. Toshie Aoki 'Carmela' - most I bought were similar to this, just with different colored flowers (I don't have the stakes for those). Slc. Hsin Buu Lady 'Y.T.' - this one I think is smaller, since I did see a blooming one, and it was about 10" high. Thanks for your help!

If they are destined to be full size Catts, they may need to make 2 or 3 more growths before they get to flowering size and that could take 2 or 3 years. If you want to tell us the names of yours, I or someone else here might be able to tell you what to expect for final size. Steve |

John,
Ages' plants will flower in another 2 years 3 months 14 days. Cattleyas are 4 years from flask opening to blooming. Mick ============================ "John Varigos" wrote in message m...

Even for the "medium-sized" ones you could be looking at several years if
you're growing them indoors and aren't experienced with cattleyas. Make sure they get lots of light. Do any of them have sheaths at the top of the pseudobulb, or can you see the remains of an old inflorescence? If so then they're blooming size already. If not be prepared for a wait. -danny wrote in message oups.com... Hi. I just bought a few 6 - 7 inch tall potted Cattleya orchids.

Thanks everyone for your help.
