Sounds very plausible. But one got rotten while right next to it the other is still fine. This produces reddish leaves hence the name LC Redglen "Eureka". The puzzle for me is why one rotted and the other didn't. I have a BLC Magic of Mishima "Volcano Queen" which occasionally exhibits the same odd rotten first leaf while the rest of the new growth is fine. No water gets into the new shoot as it develops. No bugs. Just this odd rotting. I also had it on Toshie Aoki and a few others. Thanks for the info. I use CalMag at 100 ppm when I can get it. I use RO water with a blend of tap water at about 2/3. Interesting puzzle. Thanks for having an opinion. That's how we all learn. Also here is the Recchara fully opened and another larger one that opened. Recchara's can get fairly large and this one has a leaf length of about 24inches. Only two flowers though.
