Should I repot Catasetum schunkei?
Default

Thank you, ES; I figured the old bulb was just preparing to fall off.

As far as potting methods go, I tried PET last year and found that, because I grow indoors under lights, the media stayed too wet for too long and rotted the roots. I've opted instead for a less water-retentive mix that I water more frequently. (I water some part of my collection daily so this isn't a tall order.)

I guess the most basic question is: do I need to repot this at all? Or will it be able to survive the season as is?

EDIT: Roberta, I just saw your message and I will follow your advice and leave it be!
