Cattleya
The cattleya orchids ON SALE in this section are potted, mature (blooming size) plants awaiting their blooming season.
This is the perfect category to find our original cattleya orchid plants at lower prices while still receiving the same quality plant as those currently in bud!
"Plant Only" simply means that these healthy, mature, potted orchids are not currently producing buds/blooms. We do not ship anything bare root for quality purposes. By listing plants at this current growing stage, we are able to offer the many orchid plants that are available though currently not producing any bud spike.
Each orchid will bloom at a different time while varieties will vary in seasons most orchids will usually bloom just once a year. See individual item details for more information. There are some varieties of Cattleya that go through a color change as the blooms mature. As the bloom matures, the color will deepen. These types we call "color evolving" where the mature blooms may be drastically different from the bloom color at initial opening. A sample of the color change will be shown in photos.
These orchids are relatively easy to grow and will happily grow into large display plants.
Note: All Cattleyas listed under this category are NOT currently in bud or sheath.
