Catt leaf v-shaped...

1 Attachment(s)

I got this blc Susan Harry a few weeks ago. It's growing new roots like crazy and has a couple new growths making good progress. One leaf however is v-shaped and not fully "opened" like the others. This leaf came with a sheath growing from it but it turned black and I removed it. Just wondering if the leaf will open up as it matures? I don't know much about catts other than they're gorgeous and I'm excited to be growing them so any info that more experienced members can offer will be GREATLY appreciated :)

They should open all the way as the psuedobulb ages.
However I find that when I mess up their culture, the leaf might not unfurl.

Ok, thanks! Good to know :)

I agree with Ordphien. It was likely the newest growth if it had a recent sheath on it so still may be growing and expanding. And change of culture or potting media can mess them up till they adapt.
