Hey everyone!
I would really appreciate a good 10 minutes of your time.
In April, I got a really BEAUTIFUL phalaenopsis for my birthday. It was HUGE! It had four stems, each having about 5-10 bulbs/flowers. I thought to myself - it just can't be one gigantic orchid, so I took the massive plant out of the pot. To my surprise, it was two!
I was really excited to have gotten two for the price of one so I repotted them separately (they were crammed in their tiny pot).
As the summers gone by, they just seem to get worse and worse. They don't flower anymore. Some of the leaves came off....some actually got a tiny bit of black on them and kinda dried up. I'm noticing that one of the stems looks like its slowly drying up. What did I do wrong? How can I correct this? I live in south Texas, and I know I can't leave them outside long. Thus, they get no adequate light. What kind of bulbs can I use? I can't bare to watch them die like that, and plus - they were a Very special gift. Some one please help me...for the sake of all orchids.
I REALLY appreciate your time spent. I hope you can help.
Please help my dying orchids!!
