Le cattleya ou orchidée à corsage

The Cattleya is a well-known and long-cultivated orchid in Europe. This epiphyte is presented in the greenhouses of the Vacherot et Lecoufle nursery, a cattleya grower since 1886. #cattleya #orchid This orchid is known for its very large, fragrant flowers and its many varieties. Native to South America, the cattleya grows on other trees in very bright areas. Initially a uniform white or mauve color in nature, the flowers can, after numerous hybridizations, be of varied colors, even variegated. It is not difficult to grow and rebloom a cattleya, provided you place the flower buds in the light and allow some time between waterings. Repotting is only necessary when the new growth is completely out of the pot. As with all epiphytic plants, choose a light substrate made from pine bark. 00:00 Cattleya, an orchid native to the Amazon 00:35 Flower colors and a wide variety of varieties 01:36 Staggered and protected flowering 02:15 Making the cattleya bloom again 02:38 When to repot a cattleya 03:19 Caring for a cattleya
