new problem

[bingle01]

the top part of my orchid (that is not in bloom) has begun to turn brown. the leaves and most of the plant are dark green but the very top is turning brown. any ideas or suggestions. i am fairly confident i am not overwatering...underwatering the plant perhaps?

I see...but it wasn't turning brown in that picture, we'll need a picture showing the new problem so we can help you try to figure it out

my computer is not going to manage that lol. i mean there isnt anything really to see, just a little bit of brown at the end of the plant?? thanks for your help.

If you are talking about the spike the flowers were on then it's perfectly normal for it to turn brown at the top after the plant is finished blooming. If you are saying the tips of the leaves are turning brown then that is not a good thing. That could mean underwatering or fertilizer burn.

mine is brown where the flowers were when its in bloom...but it hasnt bloomed for months. thanks.

Okay...that's called the "spike". Once the flower is gone and it's turned brown, you can cut it off.

......And if you treat it right, it will give you another one later.
