Repotting Catasetum

[@terrystevens8890]

After watching your videos on Catasetum culture, I ordered a Mo. Jumbo World SVO X Catasetum spitzii Yellow Sunlight. I never realized how beautiful these flowers are, as I've always grown the Catts, Phals, Paphs, etc. I was sure to tell Fred to thank you for prompting my purchase. Thanks for your videos. 😄

So the roots are very advanced when you repot. Also I think the two large bulbs you are repotting are no longer connected, probably could be divided?

[@dgatez73]

I'm glad you did a repot video on this orchid because I just dove right in with my repotting and did everything you did down to the slow release fertilizer like two weeks ago and watching your video confirmed i did everything right!! wheeew!! lol!! thanks for sharing Brittany !! :)

[@BaotransBotanicals]

You must do an update on them when they're mature. Would love to see it!

[@ninadillard5212]

Hello again. Do you have an example of male and female catasedums? Thanks Nina

[@alexandragrosu7277]

Hello! I have a young Catasetum orchid and I replanted it, one leaf started to turn yellow, but I noticed that it has two growths. The question is, should I water it until the growths develop or not?

[@yolyrom7233]

Thank you for this video. I learned quite a lot. Oh, and I really liked the music towards the end while you were potting up. If you can tell me who it is, it would be appreciated? There’s no mention of the music in the description box.

Bună!Am o orhidee Catasetum tanar și l-am replantat,o frunza a început sa se ingalbeneasca,dar am observat ca are doua cresteri.Intrebarea este dacă o ud până se dezvolta cresterile sau nu?

[@ninadillard5212]

Yeah what Caroline said. I get my Witchcraft in the first week of May. How fast do they grow? Thanks for your advice. Nina

[@babyashy0802]

I thought the best time to repot catasetum was only when the new growth had roots. 😁 I have a lot to repot now then

[@CatNip379]

I had no idea there was male and female parts to this can you show us a picture or a video of what a female kind of see them orchid looks like versus a male catacino looks like I mean that just absolutely blew my mind!

[@dreamydeal5483]

Hi Great video! Do you fertalise your catasetums after using this slow-release plant food or this quantity you added is enought for all their growing period?

[@CarolinePOviedo]

Hi Holy!! I need some help with catasetum I bought my second catasetum because unfortunately my first one die I don't have any experience with them. I don't understand the dormancy period how is work. My catasetum is now in dormancy and it have the new grow already what should I do now? Should I repot it? The new grow is similar of the first catasetum that you repoted. When should I star to water my orchid? Because I didn't see you water them. Oh also I have my orchid on my kitchen window is that ok because you mention that you had your on your closet Please give me you advice and thank you very much in advance.

[@Rommism]

Other than Catasetums, which orchid genuses also produce separate male and female flowers?

[@snpydhk]

i read briefly that after the male expells his pollen, the shower shrivels up. is that true? generally how long do the flowers last?

[@heidicrespin8240]

Do you think they should be in greenhouse or kept in side I'm in California

[@indoororchidsandtropicals358]

Have you ever tried growing catasetinae types in coconut coir? I'd like to get some of these, but I don't want to grow them in sphag because sphagnum, I don't think is truly sustainable, so I try to avoid using it whenever I can. As far as my understanding goes, sphag is used for these because they like lots of water and food when in active growth and sphag has those properties. Coir holds lots of water and nutrients as well (it's my absolutely most favorite medium for phals). It's got to be rinsed from the high salts it initially contains, but, after that it's great. Plus it's so easy to remove from roots, so repotting with it is a breeze. On top of that, it's just a byproduct, so I absolutely love it. If you'd be willing to try it out, I'll send you some that already boiled, rinsed, and had perlite added.

[@teresacanta7609]

What are your catazetum fertizers?

[@KrookedOrchids]

I love your video

[@chelseylowry4400]

Would you recommend using a rhizome clip with Catasetinae as opposed to a stake?

[@ninadillard8163]

Hello, I have a queztion. I'm quite confused. I have three types of catacetums and all three still have their leaves and two of them are putting out new growths. We're getting closer to winter here, shouldn't they be getting ready to to go into dormancy? 1. Catasetum Tenebrosum- showing two new growths 2. Zna. Adelade Meadows "Eli"-has 1 new growth 3. Cycnodes "Jumbo Puff"- after further examination- is also putting out a new growth. Are my Catasetums confused or what?

[@annaisgrowing]

Question for ya, Catasetum queen, I just ordered another catasetum and it arrived in the mail in weird shape. It was clearly placed in moist moss for transport, but its new growth has no roots and the new growth is very small. I don't want to start watering it because I know it will rot. Advice? I pulled it out of the pot and saw that the moss was just draped around the outside, so it is not established in that moss. I tossed it. I am thinking of cutting the dead roots, popping it in some sphagnum and leaving it alone until the new growth starts to get bigger and grows roots. What do you think? Thanks! ~Anna

[@HolyCityOrchids]

annaiskicking Catasetum Queen! I love that! haha. Keep it in dry sphagnum. I usually prop mine up with a bamboo skewer and secure it in place. Once the roots get long enough you can mist it. Gradually increase the water as the plant gets bigger. Sounds like you have a good plan sorted out!

[@annaisgrowing]

Cool thanks. The thing that was confusing was that the roots were wet and it made it harder to tell which were alive and dead. But I trimmed as best I could and stuck it in some dry moss. we shall see! :)

[@ferncrafts993]

Hey Brittany, is it okay for me to repot my catasetum after its new growth is about 5inches high. I've started to water it slightly just to get it started but its in a small plastic pot and at the edge of the pot so no more room. What do you think?

[@HolyCityOrchids]

Fern Crafts Being very careful not to break any roots, it would be completely fine to repot :)

[@ferncrafts993]

well I am going to try a repot this weekend and hope for the best. (with fingers crossed)...thanks Brittany

[@ordogke]

What % hydrogen peroxide do you use? Thank you

[@GarrettSpring]

Going to get some catasetums this weekend!! Maybe I'll do a video?? :)

[@HolyCityOrchids]

Yes yes yes! You need to do an orchid update video anyways, so incorporate it!

[@johnmickel7667]

look but - did you add a little H2o ?

[@growingthings6232]

Yeah Time lapse with Alice in Chains! Way to go Brittany

[@HolyCityOrchids]

It does sound like Alice in Chains a bit, but it is just some free music I found online :D

[@vipivipin4026]

[@HolyCityOrchids]

Thanks Tamara! I wish it were Alice In Chains, but it is just some free music I found online :)

[@patjones3374]
