Catt Whole Yellow Bulb in 3 days - Orchid Board

SADE2020 · #1 10-10-2021, 05:25 PM

I just got back from a trip and I found a whole yellow bulb and I was only absent for 4 days. I left them fully watered on Thursday, and on Friday and Saturday they have sprayed it a little (in theory). It's still hot here during the day.

What could cause this?

That looks like heat damage I've seen here.

ES is probably right. That is also the oldest bulb right? The nice thing is that the other portions of the plant looks ok.

Hi guys,

I have moved the adult but smaller Catts to the place where I have the large ones, I have consciously measured the light, it does not exceed 900-1100fc and there is no direct sun, it may be that the new place is warmer. None of the others I moved show heatstroke. Goodness !! Yes, the rest of this particular plant seems fine, but I did freak out.

By the way, this is a C. Star Parade 'Volcano Queen'

Thanks

It might just be an old bulb whose time has come to donate it's resources back into the plant. Keep an eye on it, but I don't think it's necessarily going to cause a problem.

Thank you steve.

I just removed and put some healing wax in the cut.
