This is a seedling of Paphiopedilum Fanaticum x rothschildianum.
It did well for me, albeit slow.
Then, starting about a month ago, it did not look so good. Rather dry even though the roots were fine from what I could see on the side of the pot.
Then, it grew a smaller new growth, which was odd since this was already a small seedling.

Well, two weeks ago, the tired looking main growth fell off.
I am now left with a tiny plant with relatively massive roots in the pot, and this brown off piece which I have kept in the zip lock bag with moist paper.
It started one healthy root and a very small new growth of its own.

I will pot it up in the moss tonight.

This is what I happened to my Shun Fa Golden x delenatii last year, and they are all doing great.

So, it's been about three weeks and the new roots grew to about three inches!
I'm going to pot it up now. :)
 
Let's first see if they will make it to that size in the time I stay patient. :D

Wait, hopefully, they won't get that large. lol
