St. Swithin budding.

Got it last March as blooming sized. After a year, most of which was spent in depressing fight with mites on this plant and many other paphs, it started a bud:





Even though plant doesn't look very pretty because of mites damage, I am still very proud of that bud!
Humidity is around 30%, will the bud survive?
Ezil, you had the plant of the same size, did yours bloom?

Congrats!

You are in for a treat! Saint Swithin is beautiful. In my experience, you only see bud blast when there is a change in the environment. If it's throwing a spike at 30% RH, there's no reason it won't get to the bloom. Just keep it away from hot and cold drafts.

Thanks, I feel better now. Hopefully we will turn the heat off very soon, it should help with humidity.
Can't wait for bloom.

Two weeks went by and the bud is still there, although it seems pretty small and there is just one actual head.
I was expecting couple since it is a multifloral paph after all.
Oh, well, I still cannot believe that it spiked in the first place!

I'm looking forward to seeing it in bloom! I have a seedling of this.
