Unlike the commonly found phalaenopsis orchids, cattleyas stand out with their unique growth habit (they produce shoots, or pseudobulbs) and exceptionally large, expressive, and often wonderfully fragrant flowers.

For a cattleya to bloom, it needs plenty of light (more than ordinary orchids), but it must be protected from scorching southern sunlight.

Cattleyas are epiphytes whose roots need to breathe. Between waterings, the growing medium (usually pine bark) should be allowed to dry out almost completely.
