Why such small pots?
Regarding catasetinae culture I often see statements like "Plants should be kept in relatively small pots." and most of the photos I've seen have pots where the pseudobulbs pretty much take up the whole pot.
I'm wondering why?
I'm pretty new to growing them and have only bloomed one and taken it through the winter. It now has another growth and bloom spike. I've also put it in a larger pot. I've also got a couple of new ones (because they are so cool) and I've also put those in larger pots that they came in. In my [limited] experience the roots pretty much fill the pot and even come creeping out -- and that is the larger pot. I just can't imagine what they would do in the smaller ones.
Maybe it is something about overwatering as they come out of dormancy and inducing bulb rot? But shouldn't careful water monitoring during that period head that off Any other reasons that people know?
Am I just missing something or setting myself up for a big gotcha moment?
