i was so excited for this to bloom (doll's kobold) but found it blasting at the very last minute. i've already lost one bud. 😭😭😭 my humidity spikes after watering and i believe it's blasting because i didn't vent my little greenhouse cover for this shelf.

i suspect the roots of the paphs in this shelf might be suffering from over saturation.

1) should i vent the shelf and let everything dry out completely before watering again?

2) or should i vent the shelf and water as usual (1x per week)?

3) or vent the shelf and treat the plant with something? if so, what do you recommend?

i have a couple other paphs in bud right now on the same shelf so i am worried about those guys blasting too but so far look fine.

i find the more i worry about a paph and fiddle with it out of excitement it ends up in a bad way. the more i ignore a plant the more it thrives. 🤣 doh!
