Peter's advice and check other paph leaves. Although I am not as harsh
a critic as Dr. Charles Bracker, he is right in the sense that one

From own experience I keep the concentrate in the fridge (and even then it
degrades after opening) and I do not keep anything diluted for more than a
week. Of course my situation is aggravated by the fact that I use rain water
for watering the plants.
Kind regards,

well deserved.
