| One of my cyms also got quite a few brown leaves after I both repotted and put outside for the summer. I think it is a double-whammy of trauma with BOTH repotting and placing outside at once. All of my orchids find it difficult to make the transition - mostly because I cannot be home to make the transition more gradual for them - just a few more minutes each day until they are totally and "officially" feeling like they are outdoor plants instead of indoor plants. After two seasons, and some varied amounts of trauma (depending upon placement and genus) the plants eventually thrive and obviously love it outside - right now they look like they would like to stay out there all year - of course this will not be possible come October sometime when freezing night temperatures approach. mike |
