| When you say the leaves are shriveling do you mean the lower one or two is slowly turning yellow and being discarded by the plant? If so, this is normal for phals. If it is more than this I still would be suspicious of the root system. Depending upon the environment - if it is cool - once a week can even be a little too much if it doesn't get dried out enough. How about the pot size? Sometimes they get put in too large of pot and that is why it doesn't get dried out enough between waterings. Do your plants drain into your rock/water tray? Sitting in water and wicking water back up can do it too. Just trying to come up with a few scenerios......
A digital photo of your plant might provide some insight if you can post one.
Good luck - mike |
