Cultivation Tips for Lcn. JJ Crawley
-
Light: Provide bright, indirect light for optimal growth. This orchid thrives in filtered sunlight or near a south or east-facing window. If grown under artificial light, maintain 12-14 hours of light daily.
-
Temperature: Ideal temperature range is between 70-85°F during the day and around 55-65°F at night. This orchid can tolerate warmer conditions, but it appreciates a slight drop in nighttime temperatures to encourage blooming.
-
Humidity: Aim for 50-60% humidity. If growing indoors, consider using a humidity tray or a small humidifier nearby. Good air circulation is essential to prevent rot and fungal issues.
-
Watering: Water when the medium is nearly dry. During warmer months, this may mean watering every 5-7 days, and in cooler months, every 7-10 days. Ensure the pot drains well, as Cattleyas are sensitive to root rot.
-
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) every two weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding to once a month during the winter or rest period.
-
Repotting: Repot every 2 years, ideally after blooming. Use a well-draining orchid bark mix to provide aeration for the roots.
