Clowesia rosea is known to occur in southwestern Mexico, growing on trees in seasonally dry oak or tropical deciduous forests at 500 to 1,300 meters (1,650 to 4,250 feet. These plants, while very similar vegetatively to Catasetum, have bisexual flowers instead of the male or female blossoms normally found in Catasetum species. The flowers are fragrant and bloom in the autumn. Because of the pendent flower spike, plants may be more easily managed if grown hanging. Plants should be allowed to dry out after the leaves drop in autumn, watering only enough to keep the pseudobulbs from shriveling. Eliminate fertilizer during the rest period.
