Catasetums & Cycnoches 2024

Over 8 stretches to infinity.

Wondering if anyone who has grown Catasetinae could weigh in on these spots. The plant arrived with them. Some of the other plants I have purchased have arrived with black dots but fewer than these. And these in particular seem more like divots than spots. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I also had plants shipped with those same black dots on them. While I don't know exactly what they are, they never spread further and never appeared again on new growth the following year. so, I did not think much of it. Just keep your eyes on it but I doubt it is anything to be alarmed about.

Inspired by this thread, I was already in a weaked state when the SVO Winter Sale hit. Excellent timing, Fred!

Package arrived safely yesterday. I'm already officially over 8.

Should I feel guilty?

A couple of my Clowesias get these. Not sure what they are as my conditions are generally pretty dry. My guess would be water sitting on the plants too long.

Well, we'll see how they grow . . .
