Hi, my Fumi's Delight, a two growth plant, developed a sheath (that may be a Catt. word, but it's a better description than "in bud") a couple months ago and I don't really see it advancing. It seems not to have grown or developed much at all.
This same thing happened to my micranthum, I asked the grower I bought it from (very well known in the Paph world) and he said "oh yes those can take quite a while, don't worry". Someone in my OS won a best in show for a micranthum, and I asked her how long it took, and she said "oh it went very fast, took barely any time". Soon thereafter it was clear the bud had blasted. I spoke to yet another well known grower, explaining the blasted bud, he said "I have that problem with micranthums too". And, lest there be any doubt, I am not growing in ideal conditions but he sure is!
So - my question is more about the Fumi's -is this thing going to blast too? Is there anything to do besides wait? I'm beginning to doubt whether Paphs are a good fit for me, at this rate.
