The only thing I can figure out is that when it starts to spike, that's about the time of year when temperatures in North Texas start to get really hot (around a hundred degrees or even hotter) Could this heat be the problem here? I thinking about bringing it indoors once it starts to spike to see if that helps. Does anybody think this might be a good plan, or is there something else I should be looking? Sorry to revive an old thread, but this seemed appropriate since there's already so much information here that I didn't want to repeat in a new thread.[COLOR="Silver"]

This is 100% the problem and why I don’t grow Stanhopea here in Texas, even though it’s one of my favorite genera.
