Still on my first year of growing Catasetum. Question: So when did you put this collar on? After the new growths started up, then became above the regular soil line? And after it goes dormant, you will just repot at the new level? Simple questions, I know, but trying to learn.

PS Being a beginner to growing these, I made a humorous mistake earlier this year. Had one that once it started really growing was above pot level, so I stuck a stake in behind the old growth, then tied a flexible wire tie around the new growth toward the bottom to keep it from falling over.
I looked at it about four months later, and that tie was more than a tad bit tight. I took off the tie, but the bulb had gotten so big it looks like Scarlett O'Hara's waist after her corset was pulled too tight. Now I get to look at that bulb for years and laugh at myself. Who knew it would keep getting so much bigger and fatter for so long?
