Catasetum new shoots

[bil]

OK, I have a couple of Catasetums that were from far enough away to be out of synch with the seasons here. Altho it is winter here they are only half grown, and in addition some are starting a new shoot.

A couple of questions.

Should I stop watering? After all, when the new shoot normally arrives in Spring, I know not to water until it is a decent length.

Will that cause problems for the big shoot if if I stop watering it till the new shot grows some?

Finally, What does watering do to new shoots to damage them? Does it sit in the new leaf sheaths and encourage rot, or what?
