why are some species slow growers? Female
Default why are some species slow growers?

All my paphs and phrags are putting on new growths and new leaves and being generally very rewarding.....except kolosand. The original leaves have increased in size since I got it (4 years ago?), but no new leaves, no sign of new growth. I know it is a "slow grower", but why would a plant adapt this way in nature? I would think something would eat it, or infect it, or step on it long before it could reproduce. I don't really expect an answer, I just need to vent. I'm 65 and not getting any younger.
