BLC ......Hawaii

We don't know exactly what this is called except that it has Hawaii in the name. It came to us really small and bare root (no roots). We put it in a 4" basket, but we weren't able to get it stabilized and it kept tipping over inside the basket. Then any roots it did manage to make kept getting injured and dying. After a short while we put it in rehab instead. It was in a really small pot 2" with a lot of holes in it and sphagnum only. After it grew a few decent roots over a few months we potted it into a larger 4" plastic pot that we cut extra holes in for ventilation. It's potted in regular bark mix with styrofoam at the bottom like always. It seems to be doing well in it's new situation. We grow it like all the other cattleyas. It might get a little less light than the others since it's a little less of a priority because it won't be flowering any time soon.
