Laelia tenebrosa - Stalled growth

[rbarata]

Thank for the video, Stephen.

I could put it outside...I can say that my climate half of the year is the one that suits rupiculous Laelias.

Regarding Catts my main concern is not heat but the night temps which are (at the moment) around 15ºC (59 F). If we consider day temps are frequently above 35ºC (95 F), maybe that's too much of a drop. The humidity also has a large amplitude: <20% by day and >90% at night.

Anyway, I tried to open the leaf just to see...suprisingly, putting a sheet of paper in the crack, it opend really well (5 seconds was enough). Maybe it was about to open or it was a "sticky substance" issue, i.e., low humidy.

Here it is:
