Finger-nail sized leaves on grocery store phal
Default Finger-nail sized leaves on grocery store phal









I know that stressed orchids form tiny leaves, but this seems extreme. There is a new leaf forming when the previous leaf is smaller than finger nail sized. The previous two leaves are small (~ 1/3 of normal), which is concerning but not unusual for new grocery store orchids. Baby leaves forming baby leaves seems like a bigger problem.

Other details:

* Roots not spectacular, but not worse than I'd expect from a first repot of a grocery store orchid.

* Orchid is peloric

* Strangely there is what looks a broken off flower spike *above* the flower spike that is active.

* I just repotted for the first time today, I usually wait for the flowers to fade, but the leaf sizes seem extreme. A lot of old rotting media very stuck to the roots. I washed off and trimmed dead roots.

* I know I should cut the flower spike, but haven't yet. Other than the tiny leaves nothing else about this orchid's condition seems alarming to me.

* Orchid was under a bright LED panel, I'm moving to a less bright location in case that's the issue. New leaves are coming in very purple, so might be too much light?
