Did you know that:
Most Cattleya hybrid orchids produce several new growths over the summer months and it is normal, if your plant is healthy and strong, that you would see the development of a flower sheath at the top of the mature growth. If the sheath has begun to turn yellow or brown and dry and the plant has not bloomed, there are many fall blooming hybrids but there are just as many plants that produce new growth over the summer, set the sheath in the fall and then rest. During this rest, the sheath often turns dark and become dry. At this time be careful not allow water to get inside the sheath for any length of time. These Cattleyas bloom in the early spring, when days get longer and temperatures warmer.
If the flowers have all died then when should you prune your orchids or cut the stalk back and how far? This is part of the basic care of orchids. Once the stalk of the orchid turns yellow or brown, it is obvious that no blossoms or plants will be produced. Then you can prune your orchids to within an inch from where the blossom stalk originated on the plant. You can also prune orchids when they are green if you don't mind losing potential blossoms. Another option to prune an orchid is to just remove the end of the blossom stalk to shorten the stalk, but retain an enough part so that it may bloom again. If this is done, cut it back to about 1/4 inch above a node which is indicated by a small leaf-like bract clinging to the stalk.
Orchids should be watered approximately once a week when the soil becomes dry, but they must never be allowed to remain wet or soggy for more than one or two days at a time. The best water to use is the one which has been allowed to sit for 24 hours so as to allow the chemicals to dissipate. One should feed orchids with water soluble 'orchid fertilizer' every two weeks during the growing season.
