Bent/broken leaves near base
Hello everyone, have been a lurker on this forum for 3+years, until today when I could not find a related post to inspire me...
I have a rescue cymbidium which has started flowering after 6 years coming back from near death, and being with me as I learned what makes it tick (this was my first one)... The leaves are starting to grow in much larger than before, the bulbs are larger, and everything is going swell.
The issue I have is that one day I came home to find the largest growth was bent/cracked about 40-60° the wrong way (from the overall toughness of the leaves I am certain this was human/cat induced - the investigation is still not over :-)).
My first aid was to tie it back into the original position (about 6-7 weeks ago). The leaves look sturdier now, so I think there is some healing going on, but I don't want to manipulate it too much to not exacerbate any damage already done.
What I noticed yesterday however was that the base of the leaves (not the bulb) is starting to make this u shape, and looks like a harmonica.
Is there anything more I can be doing to help here? Will the shape of the leaves get progressively worse to the point where it just falls apart?
Any help appreciated!
