I wold only expect one or maybe two more flowers per spike with this type of plant

I did have some catt hybrids that just threw out flowers without even forming any visible sheaths.

Hmmm...very informative. I have some young catts that keep sheathing but no buds. I was thinking it has something to do with not enough light......? Maybe. And you know, I should have thought of it but I should be watering more often when the plants are spiking even if it is winter and they are inside.

Your catt is lovely Ania. Congrats on the rescue and the bloom

Hybrid catts can change from year to year as to whether they produce a sheath or not. My Blc. Pamela Finney made thick very large sheaths last year and this year no sheaths but buds are pushing out.

My Catt. Portia Cannazzaro has bud growing without the sheath. Does this kind of thing happen often with Catts? It did have the sheath last year...
