Can be deflasked between Spring and Autumn. They will need to be protected over winter until they are of a size that will manage normal growing conditions. Advice on deflasking can be found on our website link: https://www.tuckersorchidnursery.co.nz/pages/growing-orchids-from-flask
Images supplied are of the parents and an indicative image of a flask, plant sizes in the flask may vary depending on variety.
These grow and flower best in Cattleya conditions, and are known to drop their leaves at the end of the season which is normal. Reduce watering while leafless and resume normal watering and fertilizing at the onset of new growth in the spring.
