Hi, very interesting video about catasetums, I have 2 catasetum tenebrosum and I find them interesting, I will purchase more. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it is appreciated.
I am new to catasetum. Have bought 3 seedlings. All of them are just bulbs about 1 inch in height. Cant decide on the watering. Kindly advice on the frequency and quantity of watering nd fertilizing.
If they are only bulbs without any leaves, then they are dormant and don't need watering. If they have leaves and are actively growing, then they will need a constant supply of water and nutrients.
I just put the plants in LECA right when they come out of dormancy so the new roots adjust to the new media. I take care of them the same way I do for all my catasetums. If you have something specific question about growing in LECA, let me know! 😁
If you live in a very humid environment and you need the pot to dry out, a slotted pot can help. Otherwise, it’s not necessary for catasetums since they drink a lot during their growing season and need all the moisture they can get to grow as large as possible in a few months
If you stopped watering already in dormancy, wait for the new growth to have roots 3-5” long before watering. If you are still watering and no dormancy, just continue as you normally would.
New with catasetum.
Thanks.

Thank you for sharing info. I see one of the photos shows it potted in LECA. How do they do in LECA as they need lots of water?
The ones in LECA are in self- watering containers so I refill it when it’s empty
Great video 👍

@@AttainableGreen I've bought my first Catasetum on Tuesday, and it's not in his best shape... So videos like yours are just gold
@@marco9575 Good luck with your first catasetum and hope it will pull through for you! Thanks for stopping by! :)
@@AttainableGreen thank you! Keep on, your work is amazing, I will share with friends!
Could you please tell me if a slotted plastic inner pot helps/does not help with planting Catasetums? Thank you!

Mine did not flower this year. Any thoughts?
There could be several reasons. Not mature enough, not enough light, or not enough nutrients.
Catasetum 🤩 great video ... great information 🌸
Thanks Nina! It’s always nice to hear from you 😄
Thank you for showing your problems with catasetum so that we do not to experience ourselves.
Sure no problem! I take each problem as an opportunity to learn and get better at growing these plants 😁
Hi. I live in the Caribbean and my catasetum has a new growth. Should I continue watering it?
If you stopped watering already in dormancy, wait for the new growth to have roots 3-5” long before watering. If you are still watering and no dormancy, just continue as you normally would.
@@AttainableGreen Thank you
