Catasetum Partial P-Bulb Propagation?
At the end of last season my Fdk 'Midnight Lace' rotted at the base, leaving the bulk of the pseudobulb intact. I excised the rotted area and put the remainder in a brightly lit, warm and dry area. In the spring two new growths formed, grew well and are apparently entering their dormancy in good shape. Of course during the growing season these growths used up the stored energy in the pseudobulb, and it shrivelled away to nothing. Almost. I was able to remove an approximately 2" section of hard, green pseudobulb from the end about a week ago, and have it set up in the same conditions as last season. Fingers crossed......
