What is it?
Hello, Our household received this orchid 3 years ago when my father-in-law died and it had three tall bloom stalks (is that what they're called? sorry...don't have the vocab).
Since then it has not bloomed and has recently began to look unwell. Since we received it, it has had some growth spurts, it initially only had two active "bulbs" (areas of growth). Now it has 3 (2 of the originals are dead and there are 2 new).
I love this plant, but I fear it is not happy. And I would love to see it bloom again.
Attached are pictures, I think it might be a Zygonisia Murasakikomachi, or some cousin. Suggestions on how to improve its life would be great. I give it a thorough watering once a week in the shower, it's in a not-bright-but-not-dark room. If you'll notice I fashioned an orchid planter with cutouts to help keep the roots aerated.
If someone could direct me to an information site specific to this type of orchid, that would be awesome. Any and all help/suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!
David
