Healthy keiki or plant dying?
Hi all,
I’ve been looking after Olivia, my Phal orchid, for about 2 years. She has bloomed twice, once when I got her and once in the summer of 2021.
She’s my first orchid so I am very much learning as I go. Most recently, she grew a new leaf, put out a new root and then started growing a keiki. This started around November/December I think.
She started growing another new leaf but then everything stopped. That new leaf is still barely visible, the previous new root has stopped growing, she lost one of her old leaves and another is turning yellow.
The keiki on the other hand is still growing away merrily. Is Olivia on the way out and focusing all her strength on making the keiki survive? Or is this fairly normal?
I’ll include photos of her and the keiki. FYI the leaf that is turning yellow had those brown marks on it ever since I got her. No other leaf has ever had any marks like that.
