2 January Speaker Tony Millet 18 NE 26 th Drive, Wilton Manors, Florida Tele: My mom started my growing career at a very young age, growing everything from seed. Growing up in Brooklyn NYC started my orchid growing career delving into cool, intermediate and warm types. Having the experience of growing in underground cold frames to an above greenhouse did set the tone for my new semi retrement lathe house Florida style growing. The early childhood experience of growing from seed set the tone for my own orchid hybridizing program. I breed and grow unusual hybrids in the large CaWleya alliance, I also perform all flasking actvites, lecture and teach. I am an AOS student judge. Many of my hybrids have been AOS awarded. My present growing goal is to impart warm tolerance to some of the cooler growing colorful hadro laelias. Pay attention to your s, we are sending you a nice list of plants Tony will have for sale at the meeting!!!! The Orchid Column 2
3 January s President s Letter Hello fellow orchid enthusiasts. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Our society Christmas party was the best ever! Our ever grateful thanks go to Bob Fuchs and Michael Coronado for providing us such a beautiful venue. I would also like to thank everyone who helped with set up and take down. Thanks to all of our members for bringing such delicious appetizers, side dishes and desserts. We have some fabulous cooks among us! I am already looking forward to Dec As your new President, I want to thank Kim Belisle for her faithful service as past president and hope with everyone s assistance, I will be able to fill her shoes. I encourage you to make suggestions of the events and information you would like for us this year. My is mariaeeos10@gmail.com so please share whatever is on your mind. Ochoa, as vice president will be scheduling our speakers for each meeting and if you know a great speaker who would be good for us to have; please speak with him. Our meeting, January 23 rd, is the time to renew your membership; unless you renewed at the Christmas party. The fee for a single is $25, couple $35, and family (limit 4) $45. We appreciate everyone renewing ASAP which allows us to prepare our updated roster. In addition, you receive our newsletter, a membership raffle ticket at each meeting and the comradery of fellow orchid lovers. You are encouraged to bring a guest to each meeting as well as a goodie for our refreshment table. Remember, you will receive a raffle ticket for bringing your goodie. January & February brings us many beautiful blooming orchids. Just to name a popular few, Cattleya, Phalaenopsis and Cymbidiums. During this time be cautious with watering and fertilizing as your orchids are growing more slowly and you don t want to overwater. Re-potting should be delayed for another few months. Please bring your beautiful blooming plants to our meeting for judging or even just for having one of our knowledgeable members answer any questions you may have. If your plant is showing signs of disease or pests please keep it removed from the other member s healthy plants. Putting it in a sealed bag would be the best protection. We should have a plethora of flowers to judge at this month s meeting. January is the kick-off month for orchid shows in south Florida so I hope you were able to visit the Tamiami International Orchid Show and the Ft. Lauderdale Orchid Jubilee. February offers the Boca Raton Valentines Show, Feb.10-11at Safe School Institute, 1790 NW Spanish River Blvd. and the Port St. Lucie Orchids are for Lovers show Feb at the Port St.Lucie Botanical Gardens, 2410 SE Westmoreland Blvd. Until next month, Happy Orchid Growing and Blooming, Maria The Orchid Column 3

14 HOW WE GROW CATTLEYAS Pot. Taichung Beauty Chi Ming FCC/AOS Most everyone is familiar with the voluptuous, fragrant corsage orchids commonly known as cattleyas. This common name encompasses a large number of closely-related orchid species in many genera (singular: genus) and their hybrids. They are native to the American tropics and subtropics, and are among the most recognizable orchid flowers anywhere in the world. The species readily interbreed, and because it s possible to make fertile hybrids between and among several genera we have an enormous number of complex intergeneric crosses as well. The orchid plants we call cattleyas may be species or hybrids within the genus Cattleya, or they may be close relatives (Laelia, Brassavola, Sophronitis, Epidendrum, - Encyclia, Broughtonia), or hybrids among these genera. Although botanists have a fancy name for this group of - orchids, they are also known as members of the cattleya tribe. C. skinneri in the garden at R.F. Orchids The Orchid Column 14
15 Fortunately most of the species and hybrids of the cattleya tribe are easy to grow, and some are highly recommended for beginners collections. Many of them adapt beautifully to our subtropical conditions, doing equally well in pots and other containers, or naturalized in our trees. Their extravagant, often highly fragrant flowers are popular with growers everywhere. Cattleyas are sympodial orchids (unlike Vandas, which are monopodial). They have a thick horizontal stem (the rhizome). New growth sprouts from buds on the rhizome, and a healthy plant may grow from multiple points on the rhizome. Each new growth, or lead, begins with a bud near the base of the previous growth. Plants tend to grow horizontally rather than vertically and most cattleyas will grow out of their pots within a few years. Brassavola nodosa in the garden at R.F. Orchids In their native habitats, the cattleyas (and most of the closely related species) are epiphytes. They grow on the limbs and trunks of trees, but are not parasites. The roots of epiphytic plants (including orchids, as well as some bromeliads, ferns and aroids) are specially adapted for this environment. The plants take no nourishment from the tree itself; their roots absorb moisture and nutrients from the debris that collects around the roots. Cattleyas are also adapted to seasonal changes in rainfall amounts. The thickened stems, called pseudobulbs, store moisture for the plant to use during the dry season. The Orchid Column 15
16 Cultural Requirements Potting media These orchids are highly adaptable and will grow well in pots, baskets or on mounts (cork bark, driftwood, tree fern). They are not generally fussy about the growing medium as long as it is very open, well-aerated and free-draining. Remember, they are adapted to growing in the trees, where they are subject to heavy rains alternating with breezy, dry conditions. The plants need good air circulation around the roots. This is perhaps the most critical element in caring for cattleyas, as the plants will not do well if their roots are smothered with soggy or poorly-aerated potting material. Different potting materials have different characteristics, particularly with respect to moisture retention. No one material is better than another each has its advantages and disadvantages. Choose a medium that will be appropriate for your conditions. If you water your plants frequently, use mounts or clay pots with an extremely free-draining medium such as Aliflor or Hydroton (expanded clay pellets) mixed with a little chopped tree fern and redwood chips. If you water infrequently, choose materials that will hold moisture somewhat longer: plastic pots, or a mix that includes perlite. Cattleya mounted on driftwood The Orchid Column 16
17 Here at R.F. Orchids, we grow cattleyas in pots, in baskets, and mounted. Our preferred potting mix is Aliflor or Hydroton with treefern and redwood, in clay pots; this works well for us under our greenhouse conditions. If you re using a different mix and your plants are doing well, stick with your regimen. Remember, the plants are adaptable; there is no single best potting medium. Many cattleya orchids grow well in slat baskets or mounted. This assures good air circulation at the roots as long as the basket or mount isn t rotten! and is the closest thing to their natural habitats. You can add some coarse expanded clay pellets or hardwood charcoal to the basket. Once established, mounted cattleyas can remain undisturbed for many years. Potted cattleyas may require repotting every 2-3 years, depending on their growth rate. Water Watering cattleyas is dependent on several factors. The potting medium should be allowed to dry somewhat between waterings. If your plants are potted in a moisture-retaining mix, this may mean watering twice a week. For a more open, porous mix, you may need to water every two or three days. Cattleyas mounted on cork or driftwood can be watered every day while they re growing, if the air circulation is good and the mount dries during the day. Always water early in the morning if you can. During the cooler, shorter days of winter, water less often, particularly if plants are not actively growing. C. amethystoglossa Crownfox AM/AOS Light Like most flowering plants, cattleyas want bright light in order to grow and flower well. They will take fairly high light levels early and late in the day, but should be protected from direct midday sunlight. You can easily tell if a cattleya is getting the right amount of light by looking at the foliage. If the plant s leaves are rich, dark green, The Orchid Column 17
18 it isn t getting enough light; if the plant is light yellow-green, it s getting too much light. The correct light levels produce foliage with an attractive medium green color. If your cattleyas don t flower, lack of light may be the culprit, but don t move plants abruptly from too-shady to very bright conditions. Move the plant gradually to brighter conditions or you may scorch the foliage. Some species in the cattleya alliance grow in nearly full sun in their native habitats, although most of the commonly cultivated species and hybrids prefer just slightly shadier conditions than this. Let the foliage color be your guide to the amount of light necessary for good growth and flowering. As a general guide, cattleyas want very bright shade, with some sunlight early or late in the day. Fertilizing In captivity, cattleyas do best with supplemental fertilizing. The best fertilizer depends on the potting medium you use. For mostly inert potting materials (expanded clay is completely inert, as are charcoal, lava rock, perlite and similar manufactured materials), we recommend a balanced fertilizer with micronutrients. Peter s is one option, and it s the fertilizer we use. Jack s Classic is packaged for retail consumer use. For potting materials that are largely comprised of tree bark, a fertilizer with a higher nitrogen content may be appropriate; high-n formulas have a higher first number, such as The normal decay process of bark uses nitrogen, so you may have to supplement it. If your plants are getting plenty of light but they re still dark green and not flowering very well, the problem may be too much nitrogen. New growth on a cattleya The Orchid Column 18
19 Growth Cycles Most species cattleyas (and their species relatives in other genera) have relatively distinct growing and resting phases during the annual cycle. While the plants are actively growing, they should be fed and watered regularly. We fertilize weekly during the growing season, and cut back on both fertilizer and water during the shorter, cooler days in winter. Hybrids in this group, however, may or may not show a distinct growing/resting pattern. Some do stop growing and rest in the winter, some do not. Learn to recognize the signs of growth and the signs of resting, and care for your plants according to their needs during these parts of the cycle. If they are actively growing (no matter what time of the year it is), make sure they get regular water and fertilizer. If they are not growing, cut back on both fertilizer and water until you see signs of growth again. The resting phase may last a few weeks or a few months. Yam. Redland Sunset Crownfox Ruby HCC/AOS Temperature Most cattleyas are native to mountainous areas of tropical America, and they prefer intermediate temperatures. A few come from warmer or cooler regions, but in general cattleyas do best with daytime highs in the 80s, and cooler nights. In - winter, they will withstand overnight lows in the 50-55F range easily, and with protection from the wind a brief drop into the mid-40s is generally not a problem. During cool periods, keep the plants somewhat drier than normal. (Note: Cattleya violacea from Brazil is very cold-sensitive, and some of the species in related genera are also warm-growing. If in doubt, protect the plants from temperatures below 50F.) 2016 R.F. Orchids, Inc. All rights reserved. The Orchid Column 19
