Hi
My hubby bought me this plant warsewiczzii as one of my christmas pressys and i have been following the instructions. Last week i went to water it again and noticed it had broken the plastic pot it was in so i went and got it a bigger pot, during changing the pots i saw all the new shoots which were growing (this is why the pot broke!) Then i got me thinking how big will this plant grow???
So i searched on the internet and this is the only site i could find that had english language on it!!

Welcome Gina - whereabouts in Hampshire are you? We lived at Stokes Bay near Gosport for several years. Sorry to disagree Chong - but that plant is not a cattleya, but a calathea.

Okay, so it's not an orchid. Try sending a PM to the flying dutchman. He's the one who posted the picture.

Well then Gina - we were practically neighbours once, as I used to live at Bisley near the M3.
