Cattleya jongheana
We hope that you joined us for the first Orchid Digest International Speakers Day held on Saturday, October 31, 2020. Alek Zaslawski of AWZ Orguídeas in Vitória, Brazil, was one of four fabulous speakers! The topic of his presentation was “The Beautiful Brazilian Mountains and the Orchid that Grow There.” Cattleya jongheana
(synonym Laelia
jongheana
) is found in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, a large inland state in southeastern Brazil at elevations of 1,300 to 1,600 meters (4,265 to 5,249 feet). It blooms in late winter until spring. The flowers range from four to six inches (seven to 16 cm). Grow this orchid in cool to cold temperatures with a temperature drop at night. It is best to water in the afternoon and should not dry out. Provide high humidity (especially at night) and very good air circulation. It should be grown in cattleya light. It does best when mounted. Fertilize weekly.

Thelymitra crinita is endemic to Western Australia at elevations of sea level to 350 meters in coastal and near coastal forests and woodlands as a small to large-sized, cold-growing terrestrial that blooms in the spring. Grow plants of Thelymitra in small pots with sandy loam. Provide intermediate temperatures and very bright light levels. Most species of Thelymitra exhibit a strong dormancy period after flowering. Water regularly during active growth and begin to withhold water upon flowering. After flowering, withhold all water until the onset of new vegetative growth. Some species, however, grow in permanently moist habitats. In nature, many species have enhanced flowerings following fire.
