Catasetum

Catasetum I like the article

Irrigation CatasetumTenere Umido
These plants favour quite regular watering, usually 1-2 glasses of water ; we advise in any case to irrigate every 1-2 weeks , when the soil is dry. To moisten the soil of the orchids homogenously we can water them by immersion, soaking the vases up to the edge in demineralized water, and leaving it until the top part of the substratum is moist; let's drain the excess water and then put the containers back in place.

Temperatures CatasetumPosizione mezza ombra
For a balanced development of the The Catasetum , let's choose a partially shaded place, where it can enjoy direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day. The Catasetum is grown at home or in a warmed green house; during the Spring it can be moved outside, but only if the mimimum temperatures are clearly mild.We suggest avoiding exposing orchids to direct sunlight, although they should be placed in a very bright location.

Care Catasetum
The Catasetum develops like a shrub. The ramifications of these plants tend to develop downwards. This plant in the autumn assumes a yellowpurplepink colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 60 cm high. It keeps its leaves in the winter.

Adversity Catasetum
If we notice the presence of cochineals or of other insects we can practice a treatment based on mineral oil or other insecticide, being careful to vaporize only the foliage.

Substrate Catasetum
Locate in a soil for orchids, not too drained.

Seeing the quite contained development it’s possible to grow these plants in a container. The indications given in this article are related to a medium size plant.
