#3. Put the tall one with the new growth near the bulb. You want to encourage that growth. I think it will straighten out as it grows.

I don't see any growth on the small one. It might be waiting for Spring and better growing conditions.

Take care of that new growth. If all goes well, it will be your flowers for next year.

Thanks for the advice Jane. I'll move them before I go to bed tonight.

Carl

Another question. Should I repot any of them/pull them out of the pots to check their root system or just leave them alone and not stress them?

Carl

You already potted them! Leave them alone, this is not a good time and would likely damage roots.

Jane

Hi
Here is a recent flowering of a green catt that I've had for over 20 years . Have no idea as to the name . Looks a lot like the pic on your green?? Anyway good luck gary

Jane - I don't know if there is a misunderstanding on my part but all I did was bring them home and remove the packaging, pots excluded, and watered them with a VERY weak fertilizer and super thrive solution. Other then that I did nothing to mess with them but since they look good im going to take you advice and leave them alone.

Gary - Thanks for the picture it does look a lot like the picture on the label.

Carl

To see how the flowers really look, you need to google the names. The pictures on the packaging only represent the color category assigned, not the hybrid itself. You don't need the BLC info, just the words that follow. Pictures I saw show them to be beautiful reps of catts. Good goin'!

Crazi, I apologize. I thought your Catts came bare rooted in a bag. I assumed you put them in the pots you showed. I haven't seen orchids-in-the-bag potted. Our HD always sells them bare root.

My advice would stay the same. Leave them until spring.

Gary, nice plant! I love the greenies.

Jane

Jane me too!!! lol
I have green catts ,Dends epicatts and vandas among orchids. Something exciting about green/ black brown or colorless flowwers So rare!! gary

Gary, I just bought one from Normans. Getting desperate to get something new and got a Greenie. I'd give you the name but I brought most of my plants inside as it got into the 30's last night. Can't get to the tags.

What's with this Florida weather??

Jane

These are your first two catts, you have to learn how to water them first before messing with the potting material,IMHO. I always had an adjustment period for the plants requirements when I got something new. gb

Cattleyas don't need to stay as moist as phals. They like
to dry out before being watered again. And they need even
less water with lower light.
