I cut sheaths all the time. I have a very nice thin sharp knife that I put into the small opening then I just cut upward. I think mine get caught because of my low humidity.

Update and a question...
Those drops in the buds are normal? What does it mean?

It likely means the plant is properly hydrated and is happy. Some call it happy sap  |

It is thought that ants are attracted to this sugary sap, and keep the blooms defended from aphids and other sap suckers. |

I also think this is sap but I was concerned because I've never heard about sap in catts.
Somehow, I thought they didn't segregate it.

Oh yes, most of my Catts secrete sap like this. More so than some other genuses |

I would have done the same thing. Congrats on your buds.

Thank you, Tindomul. I was expecting only one bud...3 of them are a bonus. Hope they won't blast.
