Surprise Paph rothschildianum x sib (Knight Sunshine SM/JOGA x Taratula GM/JGP in Bud

[emydura]

I would say that first bud is not going to flower. I would be surprised if your increase in watering is responsible. The advice is normally to increase watering when in bud to ensure optimum development. Do you grow inside the house? Changes in humidity?

I think that bud will open up, it's just getting ready.
On another topic, I feel like changing anything once in spike is risky.
Since it's a first bloom, not too concerned that it's not growing out perfectly.
