Wrinkly leaves and white mold on roots...
Hi, again! Since I've joined OB I feel like I'm constantly posting about something that's going wrong with my orchids! I thought I was finally getting it figured out when today I went outside to check my orchids and found that the top two leaves on one of my orchids were wrinkly in spots. Then, when I checked the bamboo skewers in the pots to see if it and another needed water, there was white mold on the skewers. I'm immediately pulled the plants out and they both had quite a bit of root rot and white mold on the roots. I trimmed them down and cleaned them up, sprayed them with fungicide, sterilized thier pots and have them sitting out of the pots to dry out right now. Were the wrinkly leaves caused by the root rot? And what is this white mold? How can I make sure It's gone? I had been really careful about overwatering and usually waited an extra day once I thought they could be watered. What am I doing wrong?!
Here's a picture of the leaves...
