Keeping them wet, wet, wet!
One funnny note, I bought a couple of catasetinae this year, they were just a couple of really small backbulbs, cheeky sods, only just sprouted, for the money I expected something that would bloom this year.
Anyway, they just sat there in the bark they were sent in looking less happy as time passed, so in the end I snapped and put them in wet moss, and they perked up instantly.
So, I put all my back bulbs in wet moss, and they are all doing well. I am so lazy, when I watered them, I didn't empty the saucers under the pots and now the roots are growing into the water!
What's that they say about keeping them dry again?
