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.
