Potting Ctsm. sanguineum?
I have a two bulb division of Ctsm. sanguineum that just started showing new growth in the past couple of weeks. It has no roots to speak of and I've pretty much been ignoring it all fall and winter so I wouldn't be tempted to water it. The new growth is coming out of the older more shriveled pseudobulb and is about 1 cm long with no sign of roots yet.
So, is this the time to pot it up and what should I put it in? I have LFS, coarse and medium LECA, medium coco chips, fine perlite, medium charcoal, styrofoam peanuts, treefern chunks, plus assorted granite chunks and quartz gravel on hand. My intuition was to use an even blend of LFS, coco chips, and charcoal in a 3-4" slashed clay pot. It will be in a fairly bright and airy but cool room (where it's been all winter, but I'll give it more light now that it's growing), and I have a definite tendency to underwater. I'd like to set it up so I won't need to repot for several years if possible. I know next to nothing about Catasetinae, please lend me your opinions! Thanks,
--Nat
