This man is 💪💪💪thanks for always sharing tips on how we grow orchids better 🎉
💪💪💪🤣😍. Thank you!
Okay, I never knew how to care for them. Sounds kind of easy I definitely gonna try. Thank you for all the information that was really good. Thank you.😊
Really easy! Give them a try! Good luck!
All what I learned about Catasetums, I learned it through your videos. Thanks a lot and Bonne Année 🍾
I like the sound of that LOL. Bonne année également!
Thank you for the great information!!!!
I'm so glad I found your channel. This is amazing. You do a great recap of the care and we get to see your beautiful collection 💖. I just dipped my toe in the catasetum genus and the info was very valuable.
Very happy to be of service and Thank you!
Vielen vielen Dank für ihre Hilfe und Tipps!! 🙏
Vielen Dank daß Sie meine videos begucken!
Great video! The collection is looking amazing. 🤩
Thank you very much Stephen! Happy New Year!
@@orchidhouse Happy New Year to you as well!
Good information Thsnks for sharing.
So glad to see that you produced this video. I grouped all my catesetums together in order to give them their dry rest period. I do have one that must be on a different schedule because it has started growing. I'm going to wait to repot it and water until the new growth is about 5" tall. I'll watch your video on repotting next. Thanks!
You should repot it now before it starts growing roots but then wait to water it until the new growth is about 5" tall with roots 3 to 5" long. Good luck! You'll do great :)))
@@orchidhouse Thanks. I'll do it. But, I want to repot in tree fern medium. Should I add medium perlite to the tree fern?(I have some on hand.) I have difficulty growing in sphagnum so I prefer other media. Thanks for your help. I had given up on catesetums, however, when I realized many of them can flower multiple times per year I got back into them. Guess I prefer orchids which flower more frequently than once per year for the work that I put into them.
I am not sure tree fern fiber is warranted for Catasetum. It is perfect for Cycnoches and Mormodes. I view it as a perfectly aerated medium, great for rot prone orchids. Obviously, since you don't like sphagnum moss, it might be good to try? Glad you got back into Catasetums!@@patsfreund9164
@@orchidhouse Thanks again for your comments. They are very helpful. As luck would have it the plant I mentioned is a Cycnodes Wine Delight. So I will go ahead and use the tree fern fiber for it. I'll use my bark mix for the Catasetums when they begin to sprout. That has worked for me in the past.
Excellent! Cycd. Wine Delight is a true beauty!@@patsfreund9164
Great information!
Thank you!
Great info as 2023 is/was my 1st yr growing cat. All 6 of mine are dormant now in zone 8a and are still in their sphag moss filled, plastic containers. Do you recommend taking them out of that dry, environment now in prep for new root growth or just monitor for new root growth, then repot?
You can do either. Most people let them in their previous year's moss until it is time to repot. I do 50/50 but my criteria to choose are arbitrary and I don't want to confuse you.
I have not noticed any difference.
Monitoring for new growth is needed in both instances though.
I have a question☝️It's humid there in Florida all year and there are many rainy days every month, so mounting orchids would be the best and of course natural way to grow them in your tropical zone? Do you really need to put orchids under a roof in Florida? 😊🙏💞
I grow my orchids outdoors year-round but the dormant catasetums cannot be watered and so I put them underneath an overhang OUTDOORS.
As to rain, we have a rainy season from mid May til mid October and the rest of the year is a lot less rainy. With climate change, weather patterns have been more erratic though.
Humidity is also much lower from November til April
Mine never flowered has a couple leaves left, not watering, they seem plump and hard so maybe next year:0)
Indeed! Try more fertilizing next year too 🤞
Hello and happy new year
Please help me for
my cycnodes jumbo puff starts growing new shoots on top of the last branch instead of on the bottom
thank you 🥂👍🏻
Is it growing a new spike (flowers) or a new growth (bulb) ?
If a spike/flower, that is normal, if it is a new growth, then the bulb might be rotting at the base???
@@orchidhouse no Sir the bulb is fat and tall around 40 cm and this year produces two time flowers! now at 35cm Height is started to grow her new bulb that is too fare from the flower pot💔
Thank you for your time and guidance🌹
My first and only catasetum just lost all its leaves. Going to dormancy but never had a flower spike. Is that normal?
Yes it can be. Either it is too young or it did not get enough light or not enough water? Did you keep it wet during the growing season?
@@orchidhouse yes I did. Watched your videos and many more. Grew big and hard but no flower. Hoping gives me flowers next year 😁
Big and hard is what matters.
Flowers are for next year then :))@@claramoreno8456
would clowesia or cycnodes be the same?
Yes!
The only caveat I would add is that Cycnoches, Mormodes and Cycnodes (which is the combo of both) are all very rot prone. So, I recommend you let them dry out every time during the growing season rather than keep them wet at all times like Catasetums but besides this, exactly the same pattern and life cycle.
I started using tree fern fiber with great success on all three by the way
when do I repot clowesia if they bloom at winter? @@orchidhouse
Same thing: when they start growing a new bulb when they come out of dormancy.
Do not focus on the winter timeline. It is just an indication as most go dormant during that time but I have had Catasetums going dormant in the summer for whatever reason. I just stop watering then, repot when a new growth appears and start watering when the new growth is 3" to 5" (8 t 12 cm) with big roots@@kevinseo4182
do clowesia do dorment after blooming?@@orchidhouse
My catasetums are either very dry or dead. How can I tell the difference?
@@orchidhouse Will do
What happened to your reply with contact info? Did YT delete it? I took the pics.
