Cathy update

Well, my Cathy Beck has not been doing much. She lost all of the leaves, but the pseudobulbs are still firm and green. I looked at it again today and commanded it to grow!!!

I took a peek at the roots and I did see that it was finally putting out a new root. So hopefully she is on her way to growing.

Here she is, I hope to see new growth soon, since the roots are starting.

April, green is always good. At least it's not mushy. I hate it when they get mushy. I think you'll get some leaves soon. Crossing my fingers for you!!!

Keep the faith, April! A new root is a good sign! I bet it will take off shortly!

I keep mine by the window sill. The window is open and with it being warm,,,, I'm thinking that's what it is. Warmth and shade (indirect light). So far so good. I just wish it would spike.

April it'll pick up in no time! My new growth is growing like crazy and the roots, like Jenny's are growing out of the pot! Don't worry! I bet in three months you'll have yourself a huge new growth!
