Potinara Orchids

Potinara, like Cattleyas, I feel pretty comfortable with.  They are not very fussy.  They are not urgent for water and they bloom easily and fairly frequently – two or three times a year.  They come from four related families of orchids:  Brassavola, Cattleya, Laelia, and Sophronitis. 

In general, I feed the orchids three out of four waterings.  I use a liquid fertilizer, balanced, at one-quarter strength.  The fourth watering is to flush out any accumulated salts.
