Odd experience - Carter/Holmes

[coirchoir]

Thanks to all for your attentive responses!!
Bayard - sounds like a lot of good advice; will remember to keep underpotted, dry but humid till new roots appear!!
Duane - thanks to you too, will remember your earlier note on the trimming issue
And Gin - yes, will always remember not to plant the cattleyas in full hot sun in garden dirt
Now, I'm off to plant the bare root catts!!!
