• Watering: Water your Cattleya Callistoglossa when the potting mix approaches dryness, usually every 7-10 days. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

• Humidity: Orchids thrive in higher humidity levels. Consider using a humidity tray or a humidifier, especially in dry indoor environments.

• Fertilization: Use a balanced orchid fertilizer regularly during the growing season, reducing frequency during the dormant period.
