Shriveled Cattleya Bulbs
We have had record-breaking hot and dry weather this year in Houston. I have noticed that my cattleya bulbs have been shrinking at an unusual rate, ever the most recent growth. I have grown for over twenty years and have never experienced this. I have checked my root systems and they are healthy, I water as needed, some plants dry out every day. I use clear pots so I can tell when they are dry, but they still continue to shrivel.
My question is will the bulbs regain their moisture when the weather improves? As I mentioned before I still have good root systems.
