Working with Cattlianthe Astraea | loddigesii x skinneri | Orchid in leca self-watering for 2 years

#orchids #repotting #selfwatering
POT BOUND after 2 years in leca and self watering! A gift from @The Orchid Room when we could still do #orchid swaps before #brexit closed that door on us! Needless to say, this orchid is precious to me. Thank you to @Michael McCarthy for giving me the registered name for #cattleya #loddigesii x c#cattleya skinneri . I got this orchid when it was a seedling, it is now a juvenile, and I am hoping it will mature into a first time bloomer with the current #newgrowths or by 2023 🤞🏼👍🏼
