I have a complex paph which developed a floppy leaf about 4 weeks ago. It was potted in the usual CHC/charcoal/sponge rock mix. On the days that I would water it, the leaf would visibly straighten up and try to stay upright, usually listing about 15-30 degrees. On the first day after watering (D+1), the leaf would start to tilt over to about 45 degrees. On D+2, it would be about 60 degrees over. And by D+3, it was flopped over 90 degrees on it's side.
So last week I moved the plant into semi-hydro and the leaf has been upright for a week now. I am hoping the constant moisture will allow the leaf to stay straight long enough for the leaf to build stronger cells to stay upright permanently. I am also hoping that the addition of Protekt will help.
