Mine tends to have very long outer sheats that prevent leaves from unfolding so that I have to cut them. It happened more than once.
Did it happened to yours too?

I haven't experienced that! I believe the tenebrosa used was tetraploid so I'm sure the genetics are different between our plants. This plant is resembles the look and size of a tenebrosa pretty closely.

I seem to remember someone said that Fred will offer more Zip on his 2025 Cattleya catalog. Hopefully you can grab a seedling (or several) then!
