Luckily there's no problem with root rot. The roots extend a couple of feet outside the pot and I'm going to have to cut the plastic pot into small pieces to get the plant out without damaging the roots too much.
Probably I should post this as a separate thread, or maybe it's adequately addressed elsewhere, but I'm very confused about how often to water. Last year I watered my Catts every day. Then I say a page at the American Orchid Society website saying that once a week was preferred and that overwatering could prevent blooming. Since they hadn't bloomed, I tried cutting back to watering to once a week, and they seemed to do better with that. they still didn't bloom, but at least they started putting out a spike which died. Now the lady who sold me this one told me I should be watering twice a day, because we're in the hot season here. Obviously she knows how to grow Catts. I've started
misting them instead of dunking them, but I really don't know what is the best procedure.
