Greetings -
This mature plant is quite large, mounted on a cork
slab. It has 12-14 new growths, and I would be just
thrilled to have many of them produce flowers.
Is there a recommended method for helping to insure
this outcome? I really don't want to shoot myself in
the foot.
It is now in mostly f
Mike's right, large scale operations use steam boilers for sterilizing new media and throw out all used pots without question

Not long enough. I run it for the maximum cycle, 5 hours & 59 minutes. It is also useful for cleaning burner bibs and broiler pans, and kashering china dishes. Unfortunately, it ruins house

Like Iris, I run a full load of pots, when the oven
needs to be cleaned anyway (you cannot use chemicals
in a self-cleaning oven!). At perhaps 5-6 times a

It's cheaper than chemicals. An oven uses about 4Kw. Let's assume you run
the oven for 2 hours. Let's also assume a duty cycle of 50% (it's probably
less). Electricity is $0.10/KWH or less in most of the US. That makes the
cost of cleaning a load of pots 40 cents or less. Plus you don't need

Well, I have Pteroceras unguiculatum and it behaves exactly like that.
Jim Cootes in "The Orchids Of The Phillipines" describes the flowers as

My question to Carlos is : Some plants sold as Cattleya forbesii that I have
seen have pink in the throat of the lip/labellum. In my opinion these are
not true C forbesii but rather linebred Cattley Venosa. What do you think?
Keep well and kind regards

Probably they are venosas. It's very
