catasetum winter rest started/new growth already here?

[kindrag23]

I have officially started the winter rest mode for it. It has been placed in the basket with my other sleeping catasetum and dendrobium.

Can you update this thread if the new growth carries on? While following the SVO guidelines is the easiest way to grow your Catasetinae, there are exceptions. For example, if this plant keeps growing its new growth and you can keep temps above 55 degrees, then you can treat it as though it were a normal growing season (ie. summer) and water/fertilize it normally.

Will do. Its in front of a large sliding glass door west facing gets warm bright light but also cooler temps. Since cooler weather has come. This should be er rather interesting

I read all your comments and since I just got my Millenium Witchcraft, it's in full bloom now, when do I stop the water, should I bring it inside the house, or leave it in the GH? I'm in Miami. norma

Leave in greenhouse as soon as blooms die and leaves drop stop watering/feeding. Leave alone until you see new roots 3-5 at 3-5 inches in length then begin watering again. Or new phulb growth @3-5 inches in size. DO NOT WATER UNTIL YOU SEE THIS NEW GROWTH. lol it is hard. I know I want to water mine. But if you water it could kill the plant.
