Odontocidium Tiger Crow 'Golden Girl' with leaves turning yellow
Exclamation Odontocidium Tiger Crow 'Golden Girl' with leaves turning yellow

Hi,

I've just gotten into orchids and have two Phalaenopsis that I've been able to get to rebloom without any trouble.

I just purchased a Odontocidium Tiger Crow 'Golden Girl' that was near the end of it's bloom. The orchid person at the place I purchased it told me to wait one month after the blooms dried out before beginning to fertilize, so the first time I'll fertizlize it will be next weekend.

I noticed some black spots on the leaves and read that this indicates that the plant is receiving too much sunlight, so I moved it back from the windows (it still get light, it's just now not directly in the light) several weeks ago.

I also noticed that the puedo blubs were shriveled, which I read means that it's not getting enough water. That website recc. that I allow the pot to sit in a litte bit of water. For the last two waterings, I watered the plant and let the base sit in about 1/4 inch water for two days and then drained the water away.

The brand new psuedo bulb that's coming up looks great, with no shrivels.

Then, somepoint during all of this moving of the plant and watering changes, I noticed that the leaves on the smaller psuedo blubs have started turning yellow, which concerns me. (note that the leaves on the new psuedo blub look great, as do the leaves on the large psuedo blub)

So, am I watering it too much? Is it not getting enough light? (Should I move it again)? Any suggestions?

Lastly, my cat somehow got into the bathroom (where I keep my orchids to insure high humidity) and ate the tips of a few leaves. The ones she ate off of have all turned yellow and died, but I assumed this was due to her munching on them. But now one of the non-munched on leaves is having the same problem, I worry that prehaps the dying of the other leaves may not have been due to her.

Any suggestions and/or advice?

Also, what kind of fertilizer would you recc. for this orchid?

Thank you so much!!

Niki
