Sharry Baby. I soaked for 15 minutes but couldn’t loosen the roots so I just cleaned up the top by removing the old moss and dropped the whole thing in a 6” in pot with new orchiata bark.

That plant is as ready for spring as I am!

At this point I "tuck in" the roots with a little extra sphag. Catasetum roots like to be fully covered in my experience...

I put this Stanhopea in a new basket about 6 months ago, I had to cut it out of the basket today to upgrade.
