Full Catasetum Collection Intro + Progress Report! Before Dormancy- October 19

Hi Everyone, it's Annabel, welcome back to my channel! Today we are going to be taking a look at each of the catasetum (and related) orchids in my collection! This is an in-depth look at each of my catasetums at the end of the growing season, when ideally we should be thinking about dormancy soon. However, many of mine are backbulb divisions, and have started their new growths totally out of season. So I'll talk about my plans for extending the growing season for these ones, and various potting media that I have been trialling for them. Any ideas on these appreciated- this will be my first dormancy so we are off to an odd start!
