I have some large and some very large Cattleyas. I wondered if anyone would share their thoughts on making divisions vs. having large specimen size pots. Please share!

2 months agoI noticed tonight that the St Augustine OS is having a speaker next that will talk about cattleya specimen plants. I do prefer specimen size cattleyas for most whenever I can. -

2 months agoWe had a speaker who specialized in large Catts - they grew in aliflor, which doesn’t deteriorate, so they just moved plants up. And they put an upside down pot in the bottom center to help with drainage. But I agree that they get too unwieldy to handle and like to rot. I divide, share and put in trees.-
