Catasetum

Anyone here growing these? Haven't been able to find too much cultural info on them except they can be grown in either bright or low light. I've been told that the female flowers are produced in bright light which produce more inflorescences and prettier flowers.

I found these at a local nursery who normally don't grow these. They bought them from another nursery who closed shop and moved to Hawaii. They recently repotted a few into sphag. and told me they need constant moisture. The owner took me over to a few that were repotted and when he began inspecting them, we noticed the bulbs were rotting and falling off. I bought a couple that weren't yet, repotted. I have them in 50/50 coir, bark.

Ctsm. imperiale
Ctsm. (Thinger Dinger x expansum)


The other one is Cls. warseewieczil x Ctsm. expansum
