Catasetum Growing Problems

[Sandy4453]

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! Every response here has given me much needed insight and instruction.

I have been underwatering them...big time, I now realize by all of your responses. I was so afraid of rot and not knowing, not recognizing when they were/and are again!!, requiring water, I hesitated thinking I need to see more roots growing.

Plant #3-start watering and fertilizing regularly, plant #2-begin watering lightly in about a week and, start giving plant #1 heavier watering to try to get the bulbs more plump before their winter rest.

I've been giving it the light dvespertilio recommends....so far, the only thing I've done right with these!

Again, I've gotten so much information from every replied post here.

I'm very grateful to you all.
