Hi - bought an orchid book a while ago as killed off two plants as not sure of watering etc. Book said to put plant on stones and water the stones and let them take up what water they need. That seemed to be working well, got new leaves. Now a spike is coming (taking ages) but now the leaves are drooping and they are not upright and strong looking like they were. Also I've been given another lovely Phal with lots of flowers. I know someone who has had plants flowering for 12 months. I've had this one for 3 months and now the flowers are dying off. Any suggestions please as I would hate to kill them off. Many thanks
