Today I have many questions
please do not ask me why I bought this little plant when 1. I never had a Catasetum type before,2. It’s a seedling, 3. I am not that big of a fan of “black” flowers I like the bright colored ones or white, 4. I live in the tropics so I don’t have any plants that go dormant. 5. I had never heard of it before. *Sigh* I blame it on attending an orchid show for the first time. Anyway, now I have it and I love it because it’s really cute. So I did some research on it but I am not sure about some things. Hopefully I can get a bit of help and more clarification from wiser heads.
The little thing is clearly dormant now so I understand I should leave it be and not water it and of course no fertilizer. So I complied, no water for it unless it starts to shrivel. I am not sure though if I can repot it or if I should repot it right now. I understand it grows a lot in a season and it’s in a little (ugly) pot. The second part of this is how wrinkled should I let it get before I add some water and if I do how much should I add? Is it ok to soak it once and just let it dry a while after? Also, I am not sure how long it will stay dormant but I understand I should let it grow some roots before I water. In this pot I won’t be able to see roots so I was thinking to repot for that reason as well. Also from what I read the roots should be allowed to grow several inches before watering but because this is a seedling I think that might not make too much sense. Help please!
