Cattleya Question

[ghosoff]

Don't worry, yes you will get a new growth shortly. The base of most cattleya and dendrobium types have a few different spots where a new growth can come out. Be patient and soon you will see a new one popping out. I have a large cattleya plant that sometimes aborts small growths and always within a month there is another growing off the side of the aborted one.

I have a question about the new growth and when it aborts how do you know it aborts or not? Exactly what does it look like. Because I have some problems with my cattleyas they have black spots sometimes the new growths so I wonder is that what you are talking about.
