Catasteum Orchid Care Guide

Catasetums require plenty of water during their growth phase and need complete winter rest. During winter dormancy, keep them dry and start watering when a new growth comes up.

  Light

Catasetums Orchids thrives in bright indirect light. Learn more about light here 

 Watering

Catasetums require plenty of water during their growth phase.  This starts in spring when new growths appear with the onset of the pre-monsoon showers.  Watering should be gradually increased and they should be mature by the end of the monsoon.  Once the pseudobulbs are mature, watering should be reduced in autumn and tapered down until they start dropping their leaves which is an indication that water should be withheld completely except occasionally to prevent shrinking of their pseudobulbs.  It is at this time that they will come into bloom.

Fertilizing

Weekly once with Bio-20 or Basfoliar 19:19:19 for growth and rooting. Once a month with Basfoliar 13-40-13. Learn more about fertilizing here

Cycnodes (Mormodes) Tenzontle 'Mem. J.B. Lawson' CHM/AOS x Cycnoches Warscewiczii 'Five Stars' is an exceptional, highly theatrical intergeneric hybrid belonging to the Catasetinae alliance. This exotic cross combines the rich, complex traits of Mormodes with the grand scale of the Cycnoches Swan Orchid. It results in a deciduous epiphyte prized by specialized collectors for its intense, graphic presentation and a fascinating seasonal life cycle that includes a distinct winter rest period.

🌸 Flower Specialty
  • Yields an incredibly bold and warm color palette, typically producing a rich copper-bronze or dark golden-yellow background intricately overlaid with deep burgundy spots, streaks, or a saturated, contrasting lip.
  • Features beautifully contorted, waxy blossoms that emerge along an arching or gently pendulous inflorescence. The flowers carry the signature swan-like neck column from its Cycnoches parent, giving the blooms an elegant, high-impact presence.
  • Noted for its highly potent and complex exotic aroma that can easily fill a room. The heavy-textured blossoms mature in the autumn as the leaves begin to yellow, remaining pristine and fragrant for several weeks.
🌿 Care Guide
  • Requires medium-high to bright indirect sunlight. Strong, filtered morning light is crucial during the spring and summer to build up massive, thick pseudobulbs, but ensure it is shaded from harsh midday rays.
  • Follows a strict dual-phase seasonal cycle. Once new growth emerges in spring and its roots are at least an inch long, water heavily and frequently to keep the potting medium constantly damp, never allowing these heavy feeders to dry out.
  • By late autumn, after flowering concludes, the leaves will naturally yellow and drop. At this stage, stop watering completely to let the bare pseudobulbs rest for winter; only provide a light splash twice a month if the bulbs begin to severely shrivel.
  • Thrives in warm to intermediate conditions between 18°C and 32°C during active growth, requiring high humidity and excellent air circulation. It grows beautifully in a fast-draining potting mixture of medium-grade fir bark, charcoal, and moisture-retaining sphagnum moss.
