Bare-root, no-growth-yet catasetums - I need advice!
Greetings orchid fans -
A group of us pooled envies for an order from Bela Vista in Brazil, shipped from the Redlands festival. Box just arrived - they have to be imported rootless, medium-less, dormant, etc.
My much-lusted-after portion is a half-dozen catasetums. No roots, no new growth has broken - but they are all nice, smooth, fat groups of pseudobulbs.
All of my other catasetinae are growing vigorously, some have buds already...so I'm wondering if I should set these aside until I see growth, or soak them briefly and set aside, or just pot them. I do not want to shoot myself in the foot!
Anybody have experience with dealing with these fabulous rascals this late in the season?
Our south Louisiana weather is typically spring-balmy - 92F, 88% humidity - paradise!
Thanks for any advice!
Regards - Nancy
