HELP: Miltoniopsis wrinkled leaves, root rot with flower spike
Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum. I am not a good orchid mama, but I am learning. Hopefully, in time I will improve my green thumb.
I received this Miltoniopsis ( I believe that is what it is called, self identified today) as a Mother's Day gift, two years ago. The plant gave off two spikes with beautiful flowers last year, and currently has a baby spike now. However, the leaves are wrinkled (as you can see in the pictures). I read that this is due to low humidity. If I buy a mister, will that help?
I have noticed that the roots are brown on the top. I would not be surprised if they are like that all throughout the system. I didn't repot it last year and now I am thinking I should have.
As for now, I am going to let the plant flower and then, try to repot it. I am no pro here, but I am giving it my best. I feel like a guilty mama.
What do you guys think I should do? Any and all advice would be appreciated. THANK YOU!!!
