Two Days in S/H and already

[Sassismom]

the leaves are going yellow.

[kmarch]

What orchid is it? What are your other conditions?

[Sassismom]

I am trying 2 phals. and I have them in a west window and a fan going in the room.

[kid a]

Are they the bottom leaves? If they are I wouldn't worry too much if the plant is otherwise healthy.

[kmarch]

Although I dont' know a lot about SH and I do not grow using that method, I can still say with a fairly high degree of certainty that the yellowing leaves are probably not the result of your SH growing. Whatever is causing the yellowing (whether a normal occurance or other) was in place well before you transfered the plants to SH. Only two days wouldn't be enough time to produce any noticeable reaction.

[kid a]

Maybe a pest issue could cause that? That could be a possibility but then again it could be something else.

[Sassismom]

So should I remove and dust with cinnamon?

[articuno75]

A pic would be best so that we can see what is going on.

[Sassismom]

Well the leaf fell off this morning and now all that's left is a teeny new leaf, I'll post a picture tomorrow.

[Sassismom]

Well here it is, doesn't look to good, does it?

[jay]

I still see green healthy roots, so I don't think the S/H switch killed it. They would have mushed if they did not like the switch. There must be something else that caused it to lose its leaves that fast.

Very odd question here, but you said it is close to a window. You haven't cleaned that window with any cleaner recently have you? I just ask because Jenny had a windex situation where all the leaves fell off in a rapid manor. This is a guess way out in left field, but thought I would try.

[Sassismom]

No I haven't, but good to know for future reference. So do you think it will survive, or is it basically a wait and see?

[jay]

Keep your fingers crossed, it will not be an easy road to recovery.

[YardMeat]

It looks to me like crown rot. but im no expert. looks like water may have setteled inbetween the leaves and rotted it out. but it sould recover right? anyone agree with me?

[YardMeat]

maybee crown rot isnt the correct term

[Sassismom]

I maybe that's the right term.
