Hmmm... Phals turning yellow

Olive Cook · #1 (**permalink**) 06-28-2011, 12:26 PM

A few strolls into my sunroom lately, and I've noticed that a few of my Phals have been turning yellow. Not one leaf, but the whole plant. I'm careful when I water, it doesn't look like the crown rot I've had in the past. I can post a few pics too, I'm mostly just corious what could be causing this.

Is it bad that it doesn't bother me anymore? If the NOID Phals die, it just leaves room for more

Have you checked the roots? They could be rotted.

Too much light? Have you had them in this location years past?

This is my first summer in this house, but it's not really much more light in the sunroom than during the Fall/Winter... And the roots are fine.

tiny little critters maybe?
i just rescued a Paph. from a dear friend, the same thing was happening, there were tiny little cyclamen-mite-like critters feasting, boo on them.

Hi Olive,
What type, how often and at what strength are you fertilizing?
Have you tested the ph of the water there?
Johndise (spelling) ? Phals is not good
