| I also had that happen to one of my phals. I was tempted to slit the leaf but I didn't. It continued to grow, and because the leaf was closed, no other leaves could come from it, crippling the crown. Eventually the phal sprouted a keiki on the side, and that grew into a whole new plant, while the crown with the tubular leaf slowly died. If that ever happens again, I'm going to slit the leaf. |
