Hi, all. Sad news today, I lost my Paph bud. It's my first go at owning a Slipper, so I don't really know what went wrong. I got her as a large bud that I posted a pic of when I first joined here http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36882 (thanks again for the warm welcome).
I'm so devastated :sob:. I'm trying to figure out what led to the bud dying, to try and remedy that for the future. Any thoughts or advice would be so appreciated!
Some info: when i first got her, she had a leaf that had blackened, but did not fall off. I don't think it was diseased, or it would have spread to the rest of the plant/leaves? The rest of the leaves are a nice green. I was a bit afraid of how to water her, since it is my first Slipper, but her leaves all seem happy, no wrinkling, so I don't think I'm under or over watering. The only thing I can think of is that it was the cold temperature. NYC was kind of crazy weather, with some very cold days this past month, and no heating in the apartment. Are Paphs very susceptible to the cold?
Thanks for any help, guys!
