The jalousy window area sounds great. Orchids are not for the forgetful, and.... I forgot the rest of the saying.

An update - my plant is still alive, anyway! I cut away the blackened leaf, and because I was a bit worried about how it and some of the lower parts of the plant looked I sprayed it with an anti-fungal spray and moved it outside (Eastern exposure) to keep it away from everyone else and for more air circulation. I also got some Kelp Max from First Rays and for the next watering after the skewer showed the medium was totally dry I watered with 2 tsp. per gallon of that.

Nothing else seems to be yellowing at the moment and I see roots at the surface of the media that weren't there before, but that might just be a result of my terrible repotting job. (My first attempt at potting.... ^^; )

One thing I noticed is that the leaves are getting a red tinge, so I may need to move it back inside, or find it some shade.
