New arrival catasetum/clowesia new growth has no roots
Hi all, I preordered some catasetum and clowesia hybrids from and the shipment just arrived yesterday and I got the plants today. I got 3 and while one of them has very healthy and vigorous roots, the other 2 don't and I've included the pictures here. What's interesting is that it doesn't look like it lost the roots from the new growth, rather there's just no roots at all coming out of the new growth. The growth looks pretty healthy and the old pseudobulds aren't even that shriveled. I was just a little concerned because the other catasetum I have grows crazy roots long before the leaves start fanning out which is what I thought was normal too. Does this look ok/normal and will it grow new roots eventually? I'll trim away the old roots before potting but I was also wondering if anyone with similar hybrids or same parents also observes the same behaviour
