wow 10 months later and they did much better than I was expecting
I decided to buy three catts last August and try my luck with catts ....here are the results
One I destroyed due to some kind of black crud fungus that I could not cure ...It had it when I bought it but I did not recoginize it as anything more than mechanical damage.It got the viking funeral in fire.
The second Is a Mary ellen Carter "Dixie Hummingbird" Itr started as a tiny thing with three small leads last August Here it is now in the first picture with 13 leads.
The third Is a Goldenzell "Lemon Chiffon" It also had three leads you can spot the original leads by the grooves on the Pbs all new leads are plump and smooth and it also has 13 leads in total now.
they are both in a new cycle of root growth and Pbs should be developing soon and I expect several new leads by august so I am hoping to have quadrupled both in size by the end of their first year with me.
I really can not believe how fast they grew I always assumed orchids grew much much slower than this.
