| is my phalaenopsis dying?
Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and hope someone can give me some tips to keep my phal alive. Even though I've done a lot of research about how to care for phalaenopsis one of the plants seems to be have become very sick (they're my first ones). I've had it for a month or so and after opening some buds it started wilting from the top down. After all the buds had dropped I cut the wilted stem at the bottom and re-potted it in a bark mixture (I think the previous medium was spaghnum moss). The few healthy roots it had were very short. After repotting the phal its leaves started turning yellow starting at the crowns (top and bottom leaves). Today it lost 3 leaves. I have always been careful not to wet the crowns, the plant gets only indirect light, and I water it when it's almost dry.
Any help is greatly appreciated. The attached images show 1. the flower in bloom, 2. the roots 1 week ago, and 3. the leaves as they look today :-(.
Thanks!! |
