Phal.Cygnus'Empire' Needs TLC

[jowben1]

I purchased this from an Ebay vendor, with the full disclosure, that it would need tender loving care. Can anyone give me a best guess, as to what the plant's problems are ? (Mis-colored and mis-shaped leaves). The roots looked good, so I placed it in SH, about one month ago. (Phalaenopsis Cygnus'Empire')I can't seem to upload the pix, but the leaves are curled, one lower leaf is red, while the other is orange/yellow.The leaves are firm, not drooping.The plant is about 14" wide, and has 5 leaves.

the red leaf makes it sound like it has got lots of light so the yellowed leaf could just be normal age? But not sure withot picts ....the curl sounds like it was stressed by something or perhaps a grown a little to dry?

jowben i had a look at the pic here:

eBay.com.my: Large white Phal Cygnus 'Empire' needs some TLC (item 230406554377 end time Dec 09, 2009 01:01:33 MYT)

The red on the top leaf looks like stress from light that was too high - that should be easily fixible when it gets lower light.

Otherwise it looks like it's just gone through a bit of a stressful period somehow (someone forgot to water for a while, cold temps, whatever) and needs time to recover.
