    Default I'm a survivor

    Squirrels had a (destructive) field day when some of my orchids were outside on the window ledge late Summer ... I had just bought a Catt, as a test to see if I could grow Catts in my apartment. The squirrels cut it in half, ate all the roots, some leaves and dropped it down from the 4th floor where I live.

    I followed John (aka Wetfeet)'s article on the "rootless wonders" word for word and my Catt has since put out a new growth and it looks like there is another one on the way on the other half (I potted both halves together).

    The new growth looks purplish to me and my question is,
    Is it getting too much light? Or is it normal.
    I looked at pics of Catts' new growths on the forum and they all look green ...

    Thanks!
