So What Happens Now?

Yes I think that I will be doing that next time -letting the media dry out sufficiently. Those strange balls were very peculiar, they were almost part of the plant they didn't seem to me to be harmful just not what I expected to see. They were almost part of the plant. Anyway, I think for sure that it is coming into sheaf!! I have noticed that there is a gap appearing in the top of the leaf and the small round bump just below is also growing so fingers crossed I will have blooms soon.

Hi Susie suggestion to your delemma make sure you have free draining potting mix keep out of pots with no drianing holes , flush at least once a month to remove unwanted salts etc hang out to dry good air circulation or use different pot mix . i have had many plants i wood charcoal only no problems cheers lot depends where you live , climate and sunlight plus other problem plants close by cheers Richard
