Cattleya hybrid lost its only new growth…

So just be patient, and observe. Very likely, you'll see some action soon. The plant will be fine.

I’m so glad that something so fragile isn’t a dealbreaker, but then again I shouldn’t be surprised by something that evolved a work around for that kind of thing…No excuse to behave in a brutish manner though!

Thank you again, and this won’t be the last you see of me here in the Cattleya section!
