| problem with a phalenopsis Hello,
I have an orchid - phalenopsis. I bought about a month ago and it was blooming, but unfortunately the top with the flowers broke. So I cut off the seem above the third node. I have not fertilized yet.
I water it ca. once a week, only in the morning, making sure the water freely flows out. The soil is practically dry then, but little drops of water gather at the pot and there seems to be a little moss inside the pot.
The temp in the room is ca. 18 degrees C at day and ca. 15 degrees C at night.
I noticed ca. 2 weeks ago that the leaves are drooping; some air-roots seem wilting (and are soft to touch). Under the link I attach the pictures of the plant:

in short, it seems not to be doing well. I also notice a white residue on some of the bark (picture ending with ‘5’). What should I do to save it? Its flowers were beautiful and I’d love to see them again…
I’ve already lost one orchid and I’d like to avoid losing this one as well.. |
