I got this Phal. Memoria Margarete Buchholz (gigantea x corningiana compot on tuesday (maybe monday?) and (as of Tuesday) they had some spots on their leaves, (one of the spots looked like it had "dried" up into a light brown color, one looked like it had started to dry up, while the other two spots looked like they were "wet" looking and had clear looking outer margins around the darker brown clearish wet looking centers that area-wise were close to being the same size) out of the four seedlings, plant #1 was free of any spots; #2 had one "dried" spot, w/out any clearish looking outer margins; #3 had one "wet" spot that looked wetter before, but was drying up (Tues) and had the "clear" outer margins; #4 had the worst "wet" spot, with no clear-looking outer margins, and another drying "wet" spot with no clear-looking outer margins... i hope that makes sense...
As of last night, all the spots seem to have dried, with no more clear looking margins, and the one plant that had NO spots whatsoever- has now as of tonite lost all of it's leaves!! i dont know what to do! if i sprayit with Physan 20, will that kill it?! If i do spray it, how much Physan to how much water?
They have been kept outside, close to the house on my screened-in porch, with temps not exceeding 92F, and the humidity has not dropped below 80% i've been checking regularly... i put them in a big jar last night, so they would get more humidity... not sure if that was right, but the spots dried up, so i figured it would be okay until i could post this thread... and they have been kept moist, NOT wet at all! i have gotton NO water in the crown, if i did, i dried it up-very gently with a paper towel. they are in a 3 and a half inch wide (and 3 inch tall) pot of loosely packed sphag. and they have styrofoam peanuts in the lower third of the pot, the roots look nice and green, and happy... they r just kinda floating around in the top inch of the pot. i have put a little bit of SuperThrive in their water- a couple drops in about a liter of water... I can't figure out what i did wrong!
Can anyone help me please? I am worried that they are gonna die!
the first 7 pics, are from the first night i had them, the rest are from last night, and tonight...
EDIT: the pic of the porch, is the screened porch they are on, and the compot has been on the skinny metal table against the wall, with the yellow skirt around the bottom (of the table) and the porch faces SE, but NO direct sun hits the table they are on
