Hi Victor ! I also grow Cattleya under artificial lighting. Do you grow them in sphagnum moss? How do you manage watering so as not to soak the sphagnum moss? Do you also grow them in glass pots without holes? Thank you for your response.
Good day Chrism73. Thank you for your patience waiting for my answer. Yes I grow Cattleyas in spagnum moss using glass vases without holes. I seem to be successful in growing them, and they flower better and grow bigger. One thing of caution is I never pour water on the sphagnum moss. I use a commercial pressurised sprayer and only spray the water directly on the moss. In this way, the water will only moisturize the top of the medium, and the rest of the moisture will be absorbed by the dry bottom moss. I aim the sprayer at moss and spray for 10 seconds and move on to the next glass vase (the glass vase by the way is approximately 5x10 inches. I hope this helps.
Beautiful 🌸
