Paph going crazy
This Ho Chi Minh sprouted a new growth late December 2007 and it has grown nicely as you can see from the picture. Now it looks like it's sprouting one again and it's also popping out at least 2 new roots. The remaining roots look like they are warping the plastic pot slightly as it is now more oval than round. Am I doing something wrong here since I thought it would be putting all it's energy in growing the new growth and making in bloom (yes please)??

Sounds like you are doing something right! Let the plant grow and get really healthy, then stand back and be stunned by the beautiful blooms it will reward you with. Keep up the good work, Richard!
Cheers,
BD

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm?  .

Hybrids are unpredictable, for the most part. If it is growing, it is happy

more roots and leaves means more support for the flower when it happens... so sit back and enjoy all the action.
