Default Catasetum Rebecca Northen 'Grapefruit Pink'

I'm in Houston Texas with a creek right behind my house I've seen big
snakes, little snakes, black, brown, pinkish, bright green, pea green, and
what I think was a garter snake (it was going up a tree) I stay inside
unless I know its too cold for the critters

Thanks It's in a nice warm bright spot on my plant table in my

dining
room I grow inside since I don't go outside much (not with snakes in

the
yard)

Shell,

When my catasetums display a spike, I take them inside and place in a
sunny window. A drastic temperature difference may cause bud drop.
Normal range is usually 60 to 80 for most catasetums. I would not

apply
a fertilizer right now and would assume that the place from which you
received the plant did so to get it to spike.

a small flower spike on it. How do I make sure it blooms? Anything

special
it needs like fertiliser or special lighting?
