Floppy leaves on my Phal Artic Dawn
i am a new orchid grower, this only being my second year. i currently have four orchids that I fuss over. They are all doing well, except my phalaenopsis artic dawn. This orchid has several small flowers with little blush centres and is just beautiful. The grower that I purchased it from, has it in moss in a plastic container. It has been blooming since early early march and still has a few flowers that arent fully open. Last year, I waited until the flowers were finished and then I decided to repot it into coconut bark. I lived in an attic apartment during the time which has NO sun. So, eventually, it was just dead and I cried. However, this spring, i bought the same orchid again and i just love it. The problem that I am having now is that the leaves (bottom) are very floppy and look a little wrinkled almost. I am concerned that the roots are just rotting away. The moss is always damp, even if I dont water it for a good week! So, i am just not sure what to do about it. Replant? Different pot? Do I have a disease?
any suggestions?
Thanks
