[BjørnNorman]

Hi guys, I found an Orchid nursery in Norway and I was thinking to buy Cattleya intermedia. does anybody now how big it can be, how long the flower last, and some culture tips?
Best regards Bjørn

Use a nice open mix with lots of bark. Coldest it can take is about 55F
at night. It likes a fairly warm day of about 70F. Max temps would be around 85F. The pseudobulbs can get up 50cm tall with two to three leaves. It has up to 9 long lasting flowers that about 13cm across.
