On the other hand has anybody tried to make a catasetum KOKEDAMA?....

Thanks for posting those pics.
Someone was asking about triggers. I had a dozen backbulbs I liberated, I wrapped them in a wet cloth, left them in a black flowerpot under 50% shade cloth and left them to cook for a couple of days. All bar two have sprouted.
Now here's the crazy thing. According to the rules, they should now be kept dry till the roots are blah, blah, blah.
OK?
Well, I did that and they all stalled. I watched the one, which had had the base cut off due to rot, and after cooking had thrown three shoots to my joy, proceeded to lose the first shoot, and then the second. When the third showed traces of dying off, I went crazy and shoved it into sopping wet moss.
Suicide, right?
Wrong. The damage reversed, and the last shoot is doing well so far.
I potted all the backbulbs in wet moss, and they are all starting to move again.
Duh?
