Cattleya [2] genus of orchids from Costa Rica south to Argentina .[1] C in trade journals.[3]
Description Epiphytic or terrestrial orchids with cylindrical rhizome from which the fleshy noodle-like roots grow. Pseudobulbs can be conical, spindle-shaped or cylindrical; with upright growth; one or two leaves growing from the top of them. The leaves can be oblong, lanceolate or elliptical, somewhat fleshy, with smooth margin. The inflorescence is a terminal raceme with few or several flowers. Flowers have sepals and petals free from each other; the lip or labellum (lowermost petal), usually has a different coloration and shape from the rest of the flower and covers in part the flower column forming a tube. There are four polliniums (bag-like organs that contain pollen). The fruit is a capsule with many small seeds.[4] [5] [6]
Taxonomy The genus was named in 1824 by John Lindley after horticulturalist William Cattley. Cattley obtained a specimen of then unnamed Cattleya labiata C. labiata .[7]
Currently accepted species and subgeneric division within genus Cattleya are:[8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]

Hybrids of Cattleya and other genera are placed in the following nothogenera:
Cultivation Cattleya mossiae fo. coerulea
Cattleyas need light, but not direct sunlight; in case of intense sunlight, shade must be provided.[14] Day temperatures must be between 25-30 °C (77-86 °F) and night temperatures not lower than 10-12 °C (50-53.6 °F).[14] Must be between 40-70% with good ventilation; however plants must not be exposed to air currents.[15] Water only if substrate is dry. It can be done once a week, but it all depends on the environmental conditions and the season.[15] Cattleyas can survive without fertilizing. However, it is advisable to use nitrogen-based fertilizers without urea ; fertilizers must be applied during the growth season.[15] [15] References ^ a b "Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families" .
