hi again
it must get pretty annoying to have to answer beginner questions all the time. im sorry. im trying as much as i can to not be a beginner anymore
however, i do have a problum. a couple of my phals have large white soft areas on them. theyre not spreading. theyre just large white areas that feel like play-dough and showed up a couple nights ago when it got into the low 50's. they dont seem to be rotting (yet) but they are dead. should i cut them off?
a few other questions.
1.) i have seen in the past orchids with 3 lips, orchids with siamese-twin flowers, and orchids with smaller plants coming out of their side but i have NEVER seen an orchid like the phal in picture 3. it has THREE new leaves coming out of the crown. two fat one skinny. idk what to do about it? will this be a problem in the future? will these leaves get stuck there and just die against eachother? what is the cause behind it?
2.) when i first got some of my psychopsis and cattleya seedlings they looked all bright and fresh green like picture 4. but now after growing them with the adult cattleyas in 2000+fc light theyre getting a reddish-purple cast which i have red comes from excessive light. but will they burn? should i put them with the intermediate light oncidiums instead?
3.) and lastly, i woke up yesterday morning to find one of my favourite kaleidoscope phals torn up by my parents' little annoying dogs. i was ticked off and smacked them both in the rump with a tube of newspaper and scolded them with their noses shoved in the remains of the plant. after looking closer i noticed what seemed like a growth eye and decided not to throw it away in case theres hope it could regrow. do you think this phal could send up a keiki from its base since it has nice roots.
again sorry for all the questions but id rather have the experts' help then lose plants that couldve been saved.
Was this caused by cold?
