Greetings -
Two keikis began growing on the oldest pseudobulb of a
Catasetum...one came loose in a storm, so I removed
both and have mounted on a piece of wood.
Size: the newest p'bulb is about infant forearm sized,
the keikis baby finger sized.
My concern - I'm not sure if these are big enough to
survive winter dormancy if I allow/encourage them to
lose all foliage. Would it be better to try to keep
the foliage intact, or let them enter dormancy? I
would guess that these need the same type of care as
seedlings - do breeders let seedlings go dormant?
Thanks for any advice - Nancy
