Let’s Talk About Cattleya’s with Dave Tognalli and Glenn McGeough
Cattleya’s are one of the most widely grown genera of orchids with a long history of cultivation and hybridization dating back to the early days of the plant collection expeditions. If you are new to orchids these are some of the easiest and most forgiving plants to grow. Get the inside scoop from two of our expert member growers Dave Tognalli and Glenn McGeough on what it takes to make them thrive and learn a bit about the growth habits, cultivation, and history behind some of these incredible plants. Whatever your setup; outdoor growing, greenhouse growing, or windowsill growing Dave and Glenn will share some tips and advice for successfully blooming your plants. Now is the time of year when many plants are pushing out spikes so there should be some nice specimens for show and tell, as well as photos of some of their prize plants. If you are in need of some tropical plant glamour the cattleya certainly delivers. This is a great opportunity to hear from some veteran growers so come prepared with all your orchid questions.
Don’t forget to bring your blooming plants for the show table.
