@Tom-DE Thank you for the info. That is what I suspected, but wanted to see what the experts thought. I am communicating with the vendor so I wanted to have a bit of info to work with. It seems fine so with time I think it will start to grow again. The thicker leafed one is showing new growth...

I got Phragmipedium besseae and have it potted on the bottom of the tent. The...
