Mini Cattleya (Slc Fire Lighter, Slc Bright Angel x St Orpettii)

This little plant is probably our most prolific flowerer. It seems to be in a constant state of flowering or budding or something. If you want something easy, this is definitely it. I've pondered quitting fertilizing it because I don't want to get tired of it! But then I always feel bad and don't quit fertilizing. We grow it in a 6in basket with fir bark mix. It has been really happy in this set up. I fertilize with Dyna Grow weekly when I water it. This particular type of cattleya has the skinny rather than the really thick roots, so I worry about the medium not drying out enough between waterings. I only water it once a week.
