| orchid phalaenopsis drying
Hi,
I have 5 different orchids. One oncidium, dendrium, Chinese cymbidium and two Phalaenopsis. I've read Phalaenopsis are easy to take care of but for me it has been the opposite. One Phalaenopsis is dying with leaves turning yellow without spikes. The other one is just struggling to survive. It has been blooming but the four recent buds didn't mature and just started to turn yellow and becomes wrinkle and then dies. I don't know what I'm doing wrong with this particular specie. The other three are doing fine and just finish blooming, and now are growing new leaves. My living room has direct south light and I placed the Phalaenopsis away from direct sunlight. I water it about 10 days and feed it. I do notice that the humidity is about 20 to 30 in my home. I got a humidity tray but it's not helping. The Phalaenopsis just isn't happy. Such a shame because it has another spike growing and another spike growing from the long spike. How can I make it happy? If this one dies then I won't be buying another Phalaenopsis. Maybe my apartment climate is only good for the other species. Help !!!! |
