Phal with dark green, wrinkled leaves
Hello all!
I have two phals that stopped blooming several months ago. When they stopped blooming, they started growing like crazy (roots and new leaves) so I repotted them in a bark mixture. They were doing great until a few weeks ago when their leaves started turning darker green and getting flopping and wrinkled.
I live in Maryland and it's been pretty gray outside, so I've used grow lamps on them for about 10 hours a day. Are they getting too much light?
The funny thing is, their root systems look amazing. They are still growing like crazy, with new roots growing off the main plant in little green buds. I don't see any root rot. I water them as needed based on how the roots look (dry, silvery), and it comes out to about once a week. Could they be over or under watered?
I had been keeping a humidifier in the room, but it seemed like that was keeping the plants too wet, so I stopped. Could it be they like the humidity, and I should go back to that?
I've included a picture of the larger plant here. Any information you could give would be so helpful. I've Googled like crazy, but I keep getting contradictory information, and I really don't want to lose these plants! They've been so healthy up until now!
Many thanks,
Alison
