Hi there,

I bought this teeny tiny Catasetum baby in February. it's new growth is doing fine, roots are just starting to grow.
when i got it it still had a yellow leave on the biggest bulb that fell of the day after.

When do i start watering? after the roots are more then 3 inches long or when the leaves appear?

This is my first Catasetum i don't want to kill it

When the roots are 3" long is my guideline. You likely have a couple weeks before you should think about watering that plant.

Thank you! i was going to do just that but wanted to make sure for now i'm just happy to see it grow a little bigger every day
