phal leaves problem

Sea_Sun88 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-13-2007, 02:21 PM

my phal is done blooming so I cut the stem. Then I started to notice that the top leaf has almost like a rust color on the edges. It also has a yellow grenish tinge. Whats wrong with it?
Could it be sunburn?

Sounds like too much light. Can you post a picture?

I agree with Shayn - keep it out of the sunshine - only indirect light......

Dear Sea Sun,

I suppose it could be sunburn but it would be difficult to say for certain not knowng what kind of light you have it in.

What kind of light do you have your Phal in?

Hi SeaSun. I have the same problem but mine is still in bloom. The thread I started is - 'yellowing phal leaves' in Newbie questions -
and there's lots of good advice there especially about indirect light - I had it at a window. Since moving it I'm sure the leaves are becoming less yellow.

Good luck.
