How to Propagate Catasetum?
Primary propagation for catasetum is through division of pseudobulbs. Key factors for success include high humidity, warm temperatures, and well-draining medium like fine bark or moss. Special considerations involve allowing new shoots on the pseudobulbs to develop roots before dividing. Propagation of catasetum is moderately difficult because of its sensitivity to environmental conditions. To propagate, (1) wait until the pseudobulb has grown a shoot with several roots, (2) gently separate the pseudobulb with a sterile knife, ensuring each division has roots, (3) pot divisions in suitable medium, and (4) maintain high humidity and warm temperatures without overwatering.
