Cattleya with yellow flower and maroon throat

We also got this yellow cattleya from someone at Steven's work. It was growing in a 6" wooden basket in bark mix when we got it. We treated it just like any cattleya in higher light and letting it dry out between waterings. It actually flowered for us last summer which was a fun surprise- now we know what it looks like! It also got scale pretty badly when we had the outbreak, and is one of the plants that sulked for a while. It also made several new growths in August that all ended up being floppy and limp looking. I read that this can happen from it being too hot, but we aren't really sure what was wrong with it. We repotted it into an 8" wooden basket with standard bark mix, and it seemed to sulk. I think it was just a bad time to repot at the end of the growing season. It also got too much sun over the winter and some of the older leaves turned yellow, so we cut them off. I think we also way over potted the poor thing because it's the type of cattleya with the skinnier roots rather than the giant fat roots. The mix is pretty large chunks though so it seems to be drying out ok. I don't think we will repot it again until it outgrows this new basket because I am worried it will just sulk again and it seems to be doing ok now. This spring it started making a few new growths which we are really excited about since it seemed like it wasn't doing that well. I think it was just a combination of getting bugs and getting repotted at the wrong time of year. I feel good that it will return to its former glory!
