The proper culture of Catasetums requires recognition of two distinct growth phases: 1, Active growth, which culminates with the onset of dormancy, as manifested by the withering and loss of foliage; 2, Dormancy, which lasts 6-12 weeks and culminates with the onset of new growth.
During active growth, the principal danger to Catasetums is damage by snails and insects, particularly spider mites.
Catasetums tolerate a wide light range, from Vanda light to Cattleya light; they may be watered freely during active growth, but water must be rigorously curtailed as dormancy approaches.

 Catasetum
Lindley, finding Monachantus, Catasetum and Myanthus - type flowers in a plant of C. cristatum, concluded that his previous classification had been lightly made and that all genera should be united in a single one.
Pollination - Catasetum flowers produce no nectar and are pollinated by male euglossine bees, especially Euglossa and Eulaema, they are attracted to the flowers to collect and store floral fragrance, specifically aromatic hydrocarbons and volatile terpenes.
The scent may only attract the bees for a short period of time but at the moment it begins to flower the bees typically arrive in large numbers; as soon as the flower stops emitting the fragrance the bees depart.
