LIGHT: This is perhaps the most important factor for growing a healthy plant with large flowers. He needs lots of light, including direct sunlight, with shade only in the hottest lunch hours.

HUMIDITY: The humidity is very important for growing Katleyata but direct spray of leaves is prohibited, as causing the occurrence of dark spots on leaves and flowers. Water for irrigation should be soft and filtered. In winter, watering is kept to a minimum. Summer flower fertilize every 14 days as it nourished by techenraztvor for orchids. In autumn the plant fell into a period of rest. In this period katleyata be kept light and airtight place and watering only once every two or three sedmitsi.Zhelatelno is air humidity is between 50% and 80%.

FERTILIZATION: Tori on each watering with 1 / 4 of the standard dilution.
Substrate and replanting: Growing in coarse substrate - peel and / or coconut cubes (not to be confused with coconut fiber). Suitable for uploading pad. Transplant to 2 years. It is recommended not to divide the plant before it has at least 6 well-developed psevdobulbusa. In separation, each group must include at least three psevdobulbusa a best five. After replanting and / or separation orchid is placed in a shady place, not just a watered pulverize until new roots.
Species of this genus have the beginning of countless hybrids and other Katlei and with related genera such as Laelia, Brassavola, Sophronitis, and Epidendrum, Encyclia, Diacrum, Broughtonia, Schomburgkia etc.
Additional tips: recommended removal of the sheath that covers psevdobulbusa because it retained moisture and creates favorable conditions for development of pests. In natural conditions, wrapping itself fell under the influence of rain and wind.

Hybrids:

Laelia + Cattleya = Laeliocattleya crossed with Laeliya aims to improve the quality of lip color and the introduction of the color purple
Brassavola + Cattleya = Brassocattleya This cross features a large lip, which is often "rough"
Brassavola + Laelia + Cattleya = Brassolaeliocattleya (Blc)
Sophronitis + Laelia + Cattleya = Sophrolaeliocattleya (Slc) Insert the red color and leading to a miniature hybrids
Sophronitis + Brassavola + Laelia + Cattleya = Potinara (Pot.)
Blc + Epidendrum = Yamadara (Yam.)
Slc + Broughtonia = Hawkinsara (Hknsa)
