First Catasetum, still sleeping
I purchased my first Catasetum from SVO last August
(Ctsm. Portagee Star 'Brian Lawson's Sunrise' HCC/AOS x Ctsm. Dentigrianum 'SVO Excellence') and it is STILL DORMANT. The most recent pseudobulb is firm, the medium is bone dry, and there are no green nubs to be seen. Do I just wait? It sits next to my Cynoches and Clowesia and they are waking up nicely.
I know orchids teach patience but... I'm getting impatient, and twitchy. Can I do something to encourage it? It's in my house for now, 40-50% humidity, 60-70 F, under lights.
Thanks, Kim
