Something weird happened

[cutebeka]

On all my Orchids the leaves are very healthy and so are the roots. But on 2 of my orchids all my leaves came off I mean when I was moving the leaves around to get a look at some fo teh roots the whole part came off,the part with all the leaves attached. I guess i will have to try and take a picture so you understand better,i am guessing this is not normal...I ended up throwing one out the other one is just loose not completely off yet...I find it really weird that this happened because tehy are all healthy looking.

Well maybe its just an old leaf. But yeah its impossible to know without pictures.

What kind of orchids?

[mattryan]

Sounds like it could be crown rot...hope it's not

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

What kind of orchids are they.

I don't like to assume someone is growing Phals. Not everyone grows Phals.

[cutebeka]

They are phals. The leaf jutst didn't fall the whole top did i'll have to post pics...they have been healthy so taht's why i was just like whats goin on? ugh

[tucker85]

That's not normal. It could be crown rot. Good luck.

[cutebeka]

pics would greatly help with diagnosis. Be sure to take pictures and post them when these things occur.

Phal crown rot, a common problem when water is allowed to stay in the leaf crowns.
