About Luis
Dr Luis Ortiz-Catedral is a biologist who specialises in bird and reptile conservation on islands.
Outside his professional career, Luis has developed a strong interest in growing orchids indoors, particularly old-fashioned Cattleya hybrids, as well as Paphiopedilum species and hybrids. He has achieved considerable success with his plants, with many being presented at local orchid shows.
Growing Cattleyas indoors presents particular challenges. They have high light requirements, and providing the right combination of light, temperature, humidity and air movement takes careful attention. Luis has taken a methodical approach to refining his indoor growing conditions and techniques, with results reflected in the quality of the plants he brings to shows.
