Cattleya

Cattleya


Γένος ορχιδέων από την τροπική Νότιο Αμερική που περιλαμβάνει περίπου 50 είδη και πολλά φυσικά υβρίδια
αλλά και αναρίθμητα δημιουργημένα από τον άνθρωπο.
Τα φυτά του γένους είναι επίφυτα ή λιθόφυτα.
Στην καλλιέργεια χρειάζονται καλό φωτισμό και αερισμό του χώρου τους και πότισμα μια με δυο φορές
την εβδομάδα ανάλογα τις θερμοκρασίες.
Τα φυτά ενδιάμεσα στα ποτίσματα πρέπει να στεγνώνουν καλά.
Οι Cattleya πρέπει να έχουν ανοιχτό πράσινο χρώμα.
Φυτά με έντονο πράσινο χρώμα χρειάζονται περισσότερο φως.
