Just bought Cattleya, first do not direct the sun, on the room to adapt to astigmatism for a week, and then gradually increase the intensity of light. Keep the temperature at 25-32 ℃, usually touch the sphagnum moss to dry and irrigate thoroughly, under the condition of good ventilation, spray water to the plants and their surroundings frequently, and create a maintenance environment with high air humidity. Cattleya cultivated with sphagnum moss has little nutrient in the matrix, and some slow-release fertilizer can be buried along the edge of the pot during the plant growth period to provide nutrients for Cattleya.
