# When I bought my Venus slipper about a month ago it was beginning to…

When I bought my Venus slipper about a month ago it was beginning to bloom and looking healthy but yesterday I noticed it was sad and flaccid. It came from a reputable plant shop so I left it in the soil and pot because it looked good. I’m so sad about it. Any idea what went wrong? Under watering? Not enough light?

Paphs blooms last around a month (in my experience) so it sounds like everything is happening as it should
