Hi all, do you remember my first paph that had the huge buds -
Paph Hama Chilwin 'T9' x Paph Kilvanna 'Josie'
I allowed the big bud to fully open and it was lovely but I didn't get round to taking a pic. When the bloom started to die off some weeks later I snipped it off and decided to allow the other bud to open too. Well it didn't develope as big as the first bud and didn't fully open. That was when I noticed the plant it's self was starting to die. I snipped the second bud off too but the plant continued to turn brown.
I then noticed some little green growths at the base of the plant, 'nubbins' to borrow RosieC's name for them. There are two nubbins each side of the plant base and the plant is now completely dark brown.
What I would like to ask is - should I cut the brown plant off just above the base? Do you think the nubbins will develope into new fans? I have nothing to lose by leaving them to do whatever they are going to do.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
