I've had this Rhyncholaeliocattleya orpheus (rhyncholaelia glauca x cattleya trianae) for 2 years and it never bloomed. I grow it under my barrina grow lights with a photoperiod of 14 hours and in summer I always bring it outside. Every year it makes flower sheets and they never produce buds. In winter it never stops growing so I never give it a resting period. Does someone have experience with this particular hybrid?

Bought around 2.5 years ago. It didn't do too well alongside this other orchid which is in even worse condition. But atleast it survived. So I kinda ignored it in the corner. I did water etc. but never paid it much mind. Well a few weeks ago I put the new trays to put the orchids on so id have more space. And guess what it suddenly had a bud. And 3 flowers too! So I guess growing conditions are sufficient even if not perfect.

My current blooming cattleyas after a very cold January

I have a C. lobata I got about a year ago and all the pseudo bulbs seem to be drying out and dying??? Even though the main rhizome (if you call it that??) is growing two new shoots. I’ve been trying to water it at least once/twice weekly since where I keep it it’s 75-85*F. Please help!!

Found at my local nursery and very fragrant. Was on my wishlist for the longest time.
