No apples or bananas in the same room? Something to do with the smell
maybe?

hoo It's about a 3/4 inch long right now. Transplanting to the small

And there are 2 sheaths on my Lc Gold Digger x Ctna Why Not Any
advice
on seeing these through to blooming? It's getting a lot of light and a
good
watering once a week. Should I fertilze it or just leave it alone and

for the best? I havent had the best luck with any kind of Catt before,
usually the sheath just sort of fizzles. I really really want this to
bloom



Just treat it like you have been. I think most bud blasting and
other failures occur because people start messing around trying to
pamper the plants. Avoid drafts, no apples (No, really - no apples, or
bananas either, in the same room). Should be fine.
