Spike died on Burana Beauty
Hi everyone,
At Leafmite's suggestion, I bought a Potinara Burana Beauty in Dec. 2015. Between February and now, it matured two new growths, and last week I discovered a new spike growing from one of them. I was ecstatic, but now I'm devastated, because it appears to be drying out!
I'm just wondering what could have gone wrong. We had some low humidity levels recently (30s), and some hot days. But really, overall the temperature has been very moderate for this time of year and we've even had some drizzle that sent the humidity way up (up to about 50%, that is).
- It gets enough light. Leaves are not rich green, more like a lime color or slightly lighter.
- I feed it lightly every time I water with K-Lite, and when I remember (which isn't often) with Kelpmax.
- I water it about two times per week, which is enough time for it to thoroughly dry. The old pb's are pretty wrinkly and deflated, but the new ones are firm. I might start watering an extra time per week (that might sound crazy, but as I said - low humidity, good sun, some pretty hot days).
What could have caused this? And will it ever try to bloom from that p-bulb again, or is that one used up now?
Thanks for any help!
