Default new catasetum with a full set of leaves in spring!!

Hello all!!

I lost my Monnierara Millennium Magic 'Witchcraft' seedling to a hungry monkey last year. So , naturally I couldn't resist the temptation to get another one, and finally bought one.

As I had placed the order in early spring, I was expecting a naked pseudobulb, maybe with a new growth. However I was shocked to find that the orchid was not only NOT dormant, it was also mounted!!

I have read that these are very thirsty orchids in their growing season, and people grow them in semi hydroponic type setups to keep up with the watering. So a mounted catasetum was a shock to me.

Also, my other two catasetums are now fully dormant, and have not even put out new growths . However, this one has not even shed its leaves, and is even producing new leaves from the top.

What should I do? Will this continue to grow? Should I shove the whole mount in a pot? Should I induce dormancy?

I live in central India, the winter has ended more or less , and the day temperature goes as high as 30 degrees celsius, while the night temps are about 15-20 celsius.

unable to add pictures T-T . Pls use these links
