Catasetum Louise Clark

Description

2” pot. This hybrid should bloom with sprays of fragrant flowers that can range in color from solid dark burgundy to red-spotted in various patterns. Catasetum is a medium-sized South American genus that goes dormant in winter and blooms from new growth in summer or fall. Plants need a dry winter rest while dormant. Start water again once new growths start and roots have formed. Plants may be male, female, or hermaphrodite, bearing both types of flowers, possibly at different times. Whether the flowers are male or female may depend on cultural conditions. This is a fun and fairly easy genus to grow. Young seedlings
