So my plant is growing well and I decided to repot it into a fresh horse manure mix ( must be fresh per the recipe from the guy in Tasmania ).
I lined the bottom of the 10-12in deep pot with bark . Then added fresh horse manure and straw layer ( about 40% ), then sphag and bark layer ( about 60% ). Apparently if the manure is too strong, then the roots will only penetrate later in the season when its been 'weakened' through watering. When this goes outdoors in May timeframe I will add a top dressing of bone and blood meal.
Hey presto - my plant should be the size of a banana tree by June.

BTW - this DOES NOT smell. Its indoors at the moment.
I plan to do all my catasetums in the next month or so, they all have woken up from hibernation.
There is no proof like photographic proof.....
