Here's my catasetum. I found out it needed a dry period and stopped watering it this fall but then it grew roots (I read to start watering it again when the roots were 2 inches). Then it made a bud which blasted so I stopped watering it for the winter. Sure enough a new growth started and it grew 2" roots again and now a new spike. So hopefully it will bloom this time now that it's in the right season.
My Renanthera Nancy Chandler is going downhill fast. Not enough roots to chop it off. The bottom leaves are coming off faster and the top ones are shrivelling despite all the water!
