Here are my orchid photos, I'll give it a brief description and please let me know if there's any serious problems with them and how I should go about treating them. thanks in advance.
Rescued Orchid # 1:
This Phal was rescued from the dumpster room in my apt. building about a year ago. There were two much larger yellow dead leaves which I ripped off and a dried up spike with a baby plant on it. Here is what it looks like now.
Ever since I place it in a humidity tray, the leaves firm up quite a bit, before it was limpy and I might've sun burned the larger leave a couple of times. There's a bit of split at the end of two of the leaves.
And here is a close up of what seems like a new leave.
Rescued Phal # 2
The baby plant of the rescued half dead mother plant. This plant grew much faster then the mother plant, I'm guessing it's due to the fact the mother plant was trying to recover, and the baby just grows. The leave in the middle went from non-existing to it's current size in my home. However, despite the fast growth there are more brown spots on the leave on this plant, and although the leaves are significantly more stiffer and harder, it's also thinner compare to it's mother plant.
These plants are sitting in horribly bad Shultz Orchid potting mix, I do not have anything else right now. It was fruit fly(or some other small flies) infested, I'm on the third week of fly trap sticky tape treatment and there's significantly less little flies right now.
I want to get better growing medium(still doing my readings on that), better smaller more ventilated pots if possible. I'm open for any suggestions.
thanks again.
