I have a small Dendrochilum glumaceum that I purchased with three flower spikes, and two new growths. When I got it the leaves were nice and flat, gradually the have started to curl, a lot. they are curling parallel to the stem, and one leaf has a small cut in it. I havn't re potted yet it's small, 8 pbulbs and the bark looks good still.
I have a dendrochilum cobbianum that I re-potted into a teak basket. apart from the re-potting I treat them exactly the same and the dendrochilum cobbianum leaves are nice and flat. In the morning I take them out of the basement, drench them, put them outside in full sun, by noon they are in the shadow of a tree but in bright light. When it's dark I put them back in the basement where it's cool, along with a light
misting (they both get dry when outside). They don't ever dry out. I cannot figure out what is going on. The leaves look like tubes, all leaning in one direction.
The two new growths seem to be making a lot more progress after I started putting them in the basement at night and outside during the day, so that is one good thing. I don't think they were getting the day night temp difference that they needed sitting in the window.
