Such a beauty!

It certainly is. Do you divide your cattleyas Valerie? If so are there any tricks that you can share because I think that I might need to divide mine.

@merrelyn Hi Merrelyn, After soaking I do just cut my Cattleya orchid into pieces being careful each piece has enough roots attached.. I wait until I can divide into three which is a fairly large plant. mine have a lot of sunlight & some direct sun...I find them quite hardy but, they may not flower for a year or two after dividing. Mine all live outside & are enjoyed inside when flowering.

@happysnaps Thanks Valerie. I haven't tried keeping mine outside. I wonder if our winter might be too cold for them. When I do split it up I might try leaving one outside with my cymbidiums.
