Two Novelty Phalaenopsis which I ordered arrived today. One has one yellowing leaf. It is in spike, and I have read that an Orchid may shed a leaf when it begins to spike, and I'm wondering if anyone will confirm that.
Another issue is that another leaf looks somewhat pleated, along the length of the leaf. I have read that the pleats could be a sign of under watering, and also claims it's a sign of overwatering.
Are there any very definitive factors which will reveal whether the problem might be under watering vs. overwatering, in general?
The moss this Orchid came in was quite moist, so my best guess that it is an excess of water.
In any case, what I really need to know is, how to recover the pleated leaf?
