Is this normal for a Cattleya or do I have a problem?
I just bought this NOID Cattleya at a local orchid festival about a month ago. Everything seem to be fine, the blooms faded about two weeks ago, I cut them off and treated it with cinnamon, and placed it out side with the rest of my larger orchids. Well two days ago I noticed that the sheath on the pseudobulb that recently bloomed had an oval shaded brown spot. This spot is now turning the entire pseudobulb black. Is this normal for Cattleyas or is this some type of root? Could it be stained by the cinnamon?
Thanks,
