Spots on Colomanar Wildcat leaves, phalaenopsis roots Repotting issue
I have found this forum to be a vaulable resource for caring for my little collection. But i have come across a couuple issues and don't know what to do. So if anyone has any information that might useful it would be great.
My first problem pertains to a Colomanar Wildcat "red lip"
It was given to me as a present and arrived with little black spots all over the leaves, largely on the bottom side of the leaf. They don't appear to be growing, spreading or changing at all. I thought perhaphs it was a light issue. But recently i've had 2 pheudobulbs shrivel and go brown, and a couple of leaves as well. I have it potted in sphagnum moss in a ceramic pot. I am hoping to figure out the problem while i can still treat it , or change something before its too late. I'm going to try to attach photo's to help with the diagnosis.
Second issue is with a Phalaenosis. It came to me potted in sphagnum moss and i am afraid i might be over watering it and am repotting it into bark and charcol mix, in a pot with air gaps in the side. The roots of the plant though are where i'm haveing troubles. I'm not sure whether it is normal or not, but the roots in places are split and brown. They are still firm and solid, but have parts on them seem odd and i am not sure whether it is an issue that needs to be treated or if they need to be cut or left alone. Hope you all might be able to enlighten me. Any info, suggestions or past experiances would be greatly appreciated!
