Hello everyone,
One of my orchids is looking very very sick and I'm hoping someone ca tell me whats wrong.
I've kept a phaeleanopsis for about a year now, and that one was fin (so I assume the growing conditions, level of watering etc. are ok) until I bought 4 more orchids about 2 months ago, and then it's al gone down hill. The new orchids weren't looking very happy about a wee after I got them, which I assumed was shock, because it was very col that day (and I had to wait outside with them for ages for the bus!) But they were doing alright, the real problem was then with my ol orchid - 2 leaves went yellow and brown (about 6 weeks ago), so I cu them off. I now have brown indentations surrounded by light patches o the leaves, which I think is a fungus - I have just covered the leave with cinammon, so can't send a pic :-) Then, 3 days ago, one of the ne phals (which had started to look pretty healthy again) started to dro its flowers really quickly and the leaf started to go yellow. Th yellow is spreading really fast and now nearly all the leaf is yello (see pic). The yellow bit has a shrivelled appearance. I'm thinking should cut it off (with a sterilised knife), but it only has 3 leaves And there is no new growth. What is happenning to it, and why?
The only thing I think that I could have done wrong was going away fo
2 weeks over Christmas and therefore not watering it. But the temp o the flat never dropped below 15 celcius. Anyway, now my other phal i starting to develop a yellow leaf. I am quite sad at their untimel demises, so please help. Emma xPS. I can't upload the photos, but will try attach them late
