orchid<\/strong>\u00a0is native to Colombia, where it is well known and receives the name\u00a0<strong>May flower or May lily.\u00a0<\/strong><br> Its importance within the country is such that in 1936 it was selected by the Academy of Colombian History as the emblematic or representative flower of the country\u00a0<strong>(it is considered as the national flower of Colombia),<\/strong>\u00a0although as far as I know, there is no official recognition by the authorities.\u00a0<br> Although it is easy to buy Cattleya Trianae orchids (it is the most cultivated Colombian orchid), it is curious that in nature it is in danger of extinction, because its natural habitats are being destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The Cattleya orchid can live with substrate in a pot or in baskets without substrate. <br> There is no problem in having it in one way or another, except that the risks when it is in the basket must be more frequent, and we must pay special attention to humidity.\u00a0<br> If you decide to put it in a pot, remember that the substrate for this orchid must be very light, based on pine bark.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Table Of Contents

Trianae<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mygardenguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/cattleya-trianae.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-653\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cattleya Trianae\u00a0<strong>is an epiphytic orchid that grows on the branches of trees<\/strong>\u00a0, like most of\u00a0the Cattleya genus\u00a0.\u00a0<br> The flowers of the Catlleya Trianae appear from some pseudobublos of color between yellow and orange, that reach about 30 centimeters of height.\u00a0<br> They usually offer a single apical leaf, which has an oval shape.\u00a0<strong>At the end of the stem the flowers will appear, two or three as much,<\/strong>\u00a0although with a duration that can reach five weeks.\u00a0<br> It is common to flower twice a year, repeatedly.\u00a0First a flowering, to then produce the second.\u00a0<br> <strong>The colors of the flowers are delicate and bright,<\/strong>They range from pure white, white with spots on the petals of different shades, to very dark colors like red.\u00a0<br> Its size is also striking, as with this genus of orchids, having\u00a0<strong>a size of between 15 to 20 centimeters in diameter.<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orquideass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cattleya-trianae.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Care of the Cattleya Trianae orchid<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cattleya Trianae&nbsp;<strong>usually<\/strong>&nbsp;flowers&nbsp;<strong>from\nthe end of December to the beginning of February<\/strong>&nbsp;, with an autumn\nbreak.&nbsp;<br>\nAccording to orchid experts, Cattleya Trianae is not difficult to\ncare for.&nbsp;We can enjoy the Cattleya Trianae for years, if we follow the\nbasic recommendations for this genus of orchids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Light needs<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Cattleya Trianae orchid requires good lighting.\u00a0<\/strong>You can receive the morning sun, but we must avoid at all costs to receive the midday, which is the strongest and most harmful.\u00a0<br> If we grow it indoors,\u00a0<strong>a perfect place to place it is near a window.\u00a0<\/strong>Prevents the leaves from heating excessively, so they do not burn.\u00a0<br> Remember that we are talking about tropical orchids, which in their natural state grow on the outside on the branches of trees.\u00a0<br> This means that they\u00a0<strong>receive a lot of &#8220;luminosity&#8221;, but not the direct sun<\/strong>\u00a0and with a fairly stable temperature, but not excessively high.<br> If our climate is dry, it is essential that it has a good amount of humidity, with the precaution that there is\u00a0<strong>a good air renewal, so as not to incur any\u00a0fungal problems\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong><br> With perfect lighting,\u00a0<strong>the leaves will have a yellowish green color<\/strong>\u00a0and will have a good consistency, hard and firm.\u00a0<br> As I mentioned at the beginning, the pseudobulbs should also have an orange or reddish coloration, under the correct lighting conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Temperature<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The temperature can mean the difference between\nsuccess or failure in the cultivation of orchids, and is rarely taken into\naccount.&nbsp;<br>\nWe must try to reproduce to the maximum the temperatures, and\nenvironmental conditions of the orchids in their natural state.&nbsp;<br>\n<strong>The minimum temperature in winter should be at least 13\u00baC, and the\nmaximum in summer should not exceed 23\u00baC.&nbsp;<\/strong><br>\nWe must avoid very sharp variations between daytime and nighttime\ntemperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ambient humidity and ventilation<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mygardenguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/cattleya-trianae-2.jpg\" alt=\"cattleya trianae\" class=\"wp-image-654\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The environmental humidity required by Catllleya\nTrianae orchids&nbsp;<strong>should fluctuate around 50%.&nbsp;<\/strong><br>\nWe must not forget that&nbsp;<strong>environmental humidity has a\ncertain correlation with temperature<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;Thus, with a high\ntemperature, the humidity has to increase.&nbsp;<br>\nIf the temperature goes down, we should reduce the humidity, so as\nnot to favor the appearance of fungi and the rotting of the roots.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.orquideass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/flor-nacional-de-colombia-orqu%C3%ADdea-cattleya-trianae.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Irrigation needs, when is it necessary to water the Cattleya Trianae?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this sense, we must follow the basic rules for the\nentire Cattleya family, and&nbsp;<strong>water when the substrate of the pot shows\nthat it has dried.&nbsp;<\/strong><br>\nIt is recommended to&nbsp;<strong>water in the mornings and an average\nof once a week,<\/strong>&nbsp;but always taking into account the environmental\nsituation &#8230; if we are in summer the risks can be more followed, delaying and\nspacing the irrigation in winter.&nbsp;<br>\nThe Cattleya Trianae requires a process of rest in autumn, during\nwhich we will stop watering, to continue with the risks as soon as we detect\nthat the plant begins to grow again.&nbsp;<br>\nTo stimulate its growth,&nbsp;<strong>the first&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orquideass.com\/cuidado-de-las-orquideas\/como-regar-una-orquidea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>watering of the orchid<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;will be done by immersion, leaving then drain\nthe pot well.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Substratum<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.orquideass.com\/cuidado-de-las-orquideas\/sustrato-para-orquideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ideal substrate<\/a>&nbsp;should\nbe&nbsp;<strong>composed mostly of pine bark,<\/strong>&nbsp;to which pearlite and\ncharcoal can be added.&nbsp;<br>\nTo obtain a greater flowering it is advisable to&nbsp;<strong>avoid\ntransplanting for as long as possible,<\/strong>and only consider changing the pot\nwhen new roots of the main pseudobulb arise.&nbsp;<br>\nAs for the best time to face the change of pot, it is&nbsp;<strong>when\nit begins its new vegetative cycle, after autumn.&nbsp;<\/strong><br>\nWhenever we face this task, it is convenient to eliminate the\nroots that are damaged, cutting with a sharp and sterilized blade.&nbsp;Then we\nwill cauterize the wounds with coal dust or cinnamon.&nbsp;<br>\nAs for the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.orquideass.com\/cuidado-de-las-orquideas\/macetas-para-orquideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pots ideal for the orchid<\/a>&nbsp;,&nbsp;<strong>the\nCattleya is grown perfectly in a clay pot<\/strong>&nbsp;, it is not necessary to\nmonitor the roots as with the genus Phalaenopsis.&nbsp;<br>\nThe size of the new pot should be slightly higher than the current\none, but not too much.&nbsp;As with all orchids, if we give them too much space\nfor the roots, the plant concentrates on growing and the flowering suffers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Subscriber<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we want to have a more &#8220;spectacular&#8221;\nflowering it is&nbsp;<strong>convenient to fertilize the Cattleya Trianae, when it\nbegins its growth after its vegetative state.&nbsp;<\/strong><br>\nA good fertilizer could have a ratio of 30:10:10, to pass to a\nfertilizer 10:30:20, when flowering begins.&nbsp;<br>\nActually the orchids do not need a lot of fertilizer, but if we\nprovide it, they will look more spectacular.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cattleya Trianae Scientific name:&nbsp;Orchid Cattleya Trianae Common name:&nbsp;&nbsp;May flower, May lily, Colombian orchid
