Why my cattleya orchid never bloom?
i have a cattleya i put it near the window, it grows a new leaf but it never bloom in whole year4
Why my cattleya orchid never bloom?
It's almost certainly not getting enough light. If it is healthy otherwise, try increasing the light it's getting (but NOT direct sunlight). Hopefully it will bloom within the next year.
Reply:Patience dear, let it get rootbound and flower profusely. shhhh. it's all good.

What is the meaning of the name Cattleya?
I've looked on every website I could think of and I even tried googling this name. I've heard the name used before so I know it's a real name. I think it sounds really pretty and want to use it in my story, but I want to know what it means first, or it origin or something.
So does anyone know what the name Cattleya means?
What is the meaning of the name Cattleya?
Its the name of a flower... like being called Rose or Lily...
Any of various tropical American, mostly epiphytic orchids of the genus Cattleya, much hybridized and extensively cultivated for their showy, variously colored flowers.
Reply:The girl's name Kathaleya \k(a)-thale-ya, kath(a)-leya\ is a variant of Kathleen.
The baby name Kathaleya sounds like Katla and Katelle. Other similar baby names are Kathaleyna, Kathleyn, Kathlena and Kathaleen.
Kathaleya is a very rare female first name and a very rare surname (source: 1990 U.S. Census).
Katherine =
Usage: English
Pronounced: KATH-u-rin, KATH-rin [key]
From the Greek name Αικατερινη (Aikaterine). The etymology is debated: it could derive from the earlier Greek name ‘Εκατερινη (Hekaterine), which came from ‘εκατερος (hekateros) "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess HECATE; it could be related to Greek αικια (aikia) "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name". The Romans associated it with Greek καθαρος (katharos) "pure" and changed their spelling from Katerina to Katharina to reflect this.
The name belonged to a 4th-century saint and martyr from Alexandria who was tortured on the famous Catherine wheel. Another saint by this name was Catherine of Siena, a 14th-century mystic. This name was also borne by two empresses of Russia, including Catherine the Great, and by three of Henry VIII's wives."
Or, Cattleya could be a combination of two names:
Catt = (from Catherine) pure (of Greek origin)
Leya = weary (of Hebrew origin) or ruler (of Assyrian origin)
Reply:Naming characters is always an interesting issue and more important than some people realize. Cattelya is the genus name for a group of Central and South American orchids. As to meaning, it doesn't have much since it is a latinized form of a person's surname. The genus was named that to honor a British patron of botony near the end of his career. His name was William Cattley This would be a unique name for a character, as far as I know and could be used to reveal something about a really "showy" character (All the orchids in this genus are supposed to be really fancy) or to contrast with a character whose attributes are opposite to the idea. Good Luck with the story.

When do I repot my Cattleya Orchid?
I'm a newbie to the wonderful world of Orchids and recently, I purchased a small Cattleya from a local flower store. It was not in bloom and was packaged in netting hanging from a peg on a display stand. The leaves are making it very top heavy and it will not stand upright in the plastic pot that it was packaged with. My question is, do I try to stand the pot up somehow or does it sound like it is ready for a new pot?
When do I repot my Cattleya Orchid?
Often orchids get tippy in pots... tends to be their nature.
They need repotted about every 2-3 years, not due to pot size but because you odn't want the soil breaking down to fine. Orchid soil should be thick, chucky and well draining much like beauty bark almost.
Chances are if you just bought it, it doesn't need repotted. My suggestion would be to find a nice heavy ceramic pot that the smaller plastic pot can sit/nest in, or go to a garden store and they sell orchid pots that are heavier ceramic (but about the same size as you probably currently have) that you could transplant it too for more stability.
or you can prop your current pot up.
Reply:The best time to replant catts is when they are just beginning to show new roots.
If the medium looks OK and there is no new root activity, leave it for now. Put the whole thing into a clay pot or other heavy container for stability.

What is a Cattleya?
My aunt was talking about a Cattleya the other day and I was just wondering what it was. I'm assuming from her conversation that it's some kind of plant. Any information?

Reply:Cattleyas are commonly found in corsages as well.
They are sympodial (the plant spreads from several growth points) and each pseudobulb may have 1 or 2 leaves.
Reply:It is a genius of the Orchard family typically chararcterised by a three lobed lip enclosing the column. Research orchards and you will see they are beautiful.
Reply:It is a type of orchid - many of them are in cultivation and are beautiful.

How to deal with Cattleya Orchids.?
I bought a minature cattleya orchid (it's bright orange) from BB Barns in Asheville,NC in May 2004. It's now in Greenille,NC. When I bought it it was in full bloom and gorgeous. At first it just put out lots of new leaves and pseudobulbs but no new flowers. It then got severely dehydrated when I went on vacation and the person who was suppossed to water my plants forgot. Most of the leaves are kind of shrivelled and yellowish green rather than dark green. I've got it potted in sphagum moss and make sure it is kept moist and fetilize with Better Grow Orchid Plus and Better Grow Bloom Boost but it still looks like it is dying although I do have some new growth. I have been keeping it in a west facing window except in summer when it moves to a south facing window. I also have three other cattleyas bought more recently whose leaves are turning slightly yellow-green and some of the bottom ones have died. What can I do to bring it back to its former glory?
How to deal with Cattleya Orchids.?
I found this site, OrchidFlowersOnline that has great info for orchids heres a clip:
http://orchidflowersonline.blogspot.com/
Orchids are usually classified as warm growing, intermediate or cool growing, but most Orchids tolerate exposure to a wide variety of conditions without suffering (although most orchids don't do well when temperatures remain constantly above 90°F). The classification refers to the minimum temperture the orchid prefers during winter nights. Cool growers, such as cymbidiums, do best when nights drop to about 50°F, while warm growers, such as phalaenopsis, don't like it much below 60°F at night. Intermediate types, such as cattleyas, prefer night time temperatures between those two. More info listed there. i hope this helps you Dear.
Reply:Hi Jenny, I Live in North Carolina also, and I hope you visited the Biltmore House while in Asheville, its a lovely place. Try mixing some Miracle Grow with water and dampen the soil with this about once a week, but do NOT over water them. If you are seeing New growth it is coming back to Life.
Reply:Try a humidity tray, plenty of light but not direct sunlight, fertilize every week with a weak version of the fertilizer. Try some orchid medium, along with the sphagum moss, Try a good orchid fetilizer, also stop fertilizing when you see flower spikes, cut off dead pseudobulbs.
