How is the health of my orchids? I know my phalaenopsis has rot.
Hi, i haven't posted in a while as my laptop broke so I am boring my grandmas. Anyway my orchid collection has got a bit crazy and I need help because I don't want any to die.
1. My well established white phal.
I had repotted it into a glass vase with a bark and pebbles at the bottom, then moss all around the roots and at the bottom of the leaves. I didn't water it for just over a week, then I noticed white fluffy rot and took it out today. It has rot all over the roots. Here are the pictures of the roots:
Here is the leaves and roots, I ripped of the two yellow bottom leaves (the yellow bottom leaf in the pic is now gone) and the green leaves feel a bit flimsy but not that droopey.
here is what it looks like standing up
here are the flowers and buds
a few flowers seem to be a bit weak and as you can see one of the smallest buds in a bit yellow/orange.
2. My yellow oncidium (Oncidium flexuosum)
I had-plucked a lot of flowers as many have wilted but it has flowered for a long time i guess, the mixture looks a bit dark, should oncidums roots be green silvery or brown? 3. My new sin yuan golden phals
my first one looks like it has healthy plump green -silvery roots, while my other 2 look a little too dark green and less plump.
my healthest sin yuan golden?
-------------------------------------------------
the other 2 which look a little less healthy? v
(below)
only a tiny few of the flowers have wilted (about 2/3 each) on the 2 sin yuan golden which i feel are the unhealthier ones while the healthest sin yuan golden has had no flowers wilted.
4. My older sin yuan golden phal
Its leaves are very dark but it has new grwoth in the roots and a leaf and the leaves seem to be more firm.
5. My Burr nelly isler
where i have cut and sealed with wax they are yellowing, and the bulbs look very wrinkly
it has 6 bulbs
6. My unidentified miltonia hybrid
So sorry for loads of pictures if you could help or tell me whats wrong with them I would greatly appreciate it.
I have more orchids but they are in good health so Ill post them later
