Is this new growth?
3 Attachment(s)
I have never seen new growth on a catt to know what it looks like so I took some pics of what I think may be a new leaf starting to grow. There are two spots that look about the same I look a pic of both they are verry small so I really hope you can see them.

Sure looks like a new growth is starting to me.

New growth bud. Probably another one on the other side if you "carefully" remove the dried sheath from the base of the plant. I use tweezers. Check the other one too. Looks like one under there.

Great!!! This is a cattleya dowiana and I have been watering it very little since it was in dormancy now that it is coming out of dormancy can I start to water it more?
|
As long as the temps are above say 60*f you can start to water it more. But dowiana's like to dry out thoroughly before watering again. These new growths will not have roots until at least half matured. Maybe longer. Mine matured and then put out roots. Being as this looks to be in a basket I think you should be able to water it more. Use a dilute fertilizer at every watering. 20-10-10 would be good. Good luck. Oh...and how many buds are developing? I say three on two pbulbs.

Would it be ok to repot this plant or should I just wait until Fall. |
That is the eye of the orchid but I can't tell if it's started growing or not. I like the way you're growing it. I like to grow cattleyas in wood baskets with large media.
