Well, it was shrivelled like this when it was given to me, it has definately had plenty of water, by the skewer method over winter, so I don't have any issues with neglect on my behalf.

I thought it WOULD plump up over winter with the TLC it has had, but not to be. It virtually sat dormant until the past month, then away it went, and now I
have stuffed it up. At least there is another new growth on the way.

The root system on the main plant is excellent I checked it recently when I repotted it just to make sure it was OK. There is a new bulb growing from the top of one of the two tallest bulbs in between the leaves.

It has been in warm, humid conditions right through winter which I thought may have aided in its growth, but not to be.

Remember, up until I built my GH in May, I have only been a cym man, so all these other species are a learning curve for me and I make no bones about it. BUT NOWHERE have I read that these DON'T produce keikis, so if I make a mistake, IT WILL ONLY HAPPEN ONCE.

You have no idea how hard I have been on myself for this mistake. I have been waiting since May for some sign of new life from this plant, then look what I do to it.

Always learning.
