Sheath?

Oh nice!
Thanks for the reply.
Hopefully it still flowers and the shipping process didn't inhibit the flowering

I've received many plants in sheath that eventually went on to form buds. It can often take months!

good luck.

Months?
Wow, alright well then I guess it certainly has time to develop in that empty sheath. haha
It seems so foreign to me. I only have had phal's and they are all in clear pots so I know exactly when to water and now I'm staring at this guy in a green pot thinking, how the heck do I know when to water. The mix is super chunky and hard so there goes the finger test.

well you can re-pot into a clear pot and/or use a skewer. I have skewers in all my pots - even the clear ones. Just bamboo skewers like for kabobs - can get them at the grocery store

Is it okay to re-pot when it's in sheath?
