Watering Catasetums - MOG controversy

[KCGrows]

Hi all,

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Miss Orchid Girl's recent post/rant on YouTube regarding watering catasetums when roots are pushing out. She seems really mad about the apparent misinformation that is out there that does not match her own experience of growing them for 10 years. I bow to the expertise of many of the growers here as well as what I've learned from Fred Clarke who has actually seen these plants grow in their native habitats. I'm no horticulturalist, and neither is Danny, but I'd love to hear what people here have to say about her Google research. She currently lives in Cyprus, whose hot and dry climate would allow for watering more copiously in the spring than say those who live in a colder, wetter climate, but outside of that, is there any credence to what she is saying?
