They are most commonly used as Corsage orchids. Like most other cultivated orchids, Cattelyas are epiphytes, or air plants. They should be potted in a porous, free draining medium. The most commonly used are fir bark, shredded tree fern, various types of rock, processed coconut fiber, and lately, mixes based on peat moss and pearlite. Keep out of cold dry air when in bloom.
All plants come with care instructions.
