Unlike standard Cattleyas that demand wide bench space, these pseudobulbs grow tall and slender, leaving a remarkably light footprint on the bench. They go completely dormant in winter, dropping their leaves so you can tuck them onto a dry back shelf for a few months while they rest, making them one of the most space-efficient specimen orchids you can grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eQuick Care Guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003eLight: High filtered light, bright enough to keep foliage a light apple green during active growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003eWater: Water heavily while in active growth, then stop almost completely when leaves drop in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003eTemperature: Nights 62–68°F, days 75–90°F.
