Masdie and lack of water, help me save it!

If you haven't I would isolate the Phals with virus like symptoms. I had something go thru some of my Phals that was VERY contagious to Phals.

Sorry you are having orchid problems.

I actually have Masd Angel Tang and I keep it in a net pot with a bowl of distilled water in the bottom. This goes against everything we know about orchids, but this little guy is growing like mad with spag media and VERY wet feet!! Just a thought to help this one recover.

All the spotted leaves ended up yellowing and dying, but the rest seem healthy for now. Hopefully that's the end of it. Some leaves are still dehydrated, but the plant looks better and better every day. Following all of you guys' advice, it's been getting LOTS of water.

Glad to hear your plant is going to survive!

I am happy your plant is surviving. I am particularly reading on masdies...since my masdies did not bloom this season...I might be underwatering it; I should water every other day instead of once a week

Glad it's getting better Camille,

I keep my masdies with fairly wet feet, especially in the summer. Obviously not sopping wet, but they do seem to like to have the moss always moist and in summer I stand the very base of the clay pot in a millimetre of water to try and stop them drying too much.

Hope it continues to recover for you.

Looks like it's officially healthy again! (knocking on wood). The remaining leaves are perfect, and the 2 new growths are growing fast. Even being temp tolerant, it's doing much much better on the cool windowsill than it was under the lights with everybody else.
