Catasetum

Catasetum I like the article

Water CatasetumTenere Umido
The Catasetum Needs regular watering, but we suggest letting the soil dry between one watering and the other; let's take action every 1-2 weeks , remembering to water the substratum well with 1-2 glasses of water . 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.

Light CatasetumPosizione mezza ombra
It prefers partially shady locations, where it can be reached by the solar rays only during the coolest hours of the day. The Catasetum is a pretty delicate plant, which fears minimum temperatures below 15°C; during late spring it can be cultivated outdoors.We suggest avoiding exposing orchids to direct sunlight, although they should be placed in a very bright location.

Cultivation 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.

Pests 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.

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

Plant - Catasetum

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.
