The propagation success I didn't expect with Cattleya

I started with one Cattleya and now have four, all from propagation. The process is straightforward once you understand watering by soaking the pot then letting it drain fully — something I picked up from trial and error rather than any guide.

I display them in a bright bathroom with natural humidity which shows off wide hybridisation resulting in an almost unlimited colour range at its best. repotting best done just after flowering finishes is when they're most impressive. failure to rebloom without a temperature drop trigger has been my main challenge across all of them, but it's manageable now that I know what to look for. A genuinely generous plant if you let it be.
