Ok, I must admit, I've been somewhat of an orchid serial killer in the past, as I've not been all that great with houseplants in general. I'm getting better though, and have been having pretty good luck with my expanding Begonia collection and keeping a few things under lights.
Having worked in florists for years, I've brought home Phals, Dendros, and the occasional Cattleya that had finished blooming and were no longer sellable for the florist, only to watch them decline. Since its so hard for me to say no to a free plant, I find myself with 3 orchids that were identified as green Cattleyas. They're in plastic pots of bark and spagnum and have been outside in the shade. I'm seeing some new growth and considering repotting them into a clay pot all together. Would this be advisable? I have a bag of potting mix labeled Phalaenopsis mix that a friend gave me, and am wondering if it would be suited to Cattleyas too?
