Fading blooms

[Ukolele]

Hello-

Some the blooms on my 'orange' phal are fading (pictures of full colour posted a few months ago)- anyone got any suggestions? I wondered if it was lack of nutrients.

Also some of my phal's leaves appear to be going slightly spongy- again any ideas? There does not appear to be any other sun damage (something I have experienced a few times) and, to be honest, there has not been much strong sun recently.

The blooms fading is natural- They can't last forever. With good culture, the plant will bloom again next year! If your leaves are getting soft, it could be for a number of reasons. If it's been overcast a lot, you may want to cut back on the watering a little. Just a thought.
