Hello, everyone!
I just read about this forum on Reddit and it seems like such a wonderful place!
I am new to orchids, and wanted to start growing them because my grandmother used to grow them before she passed away. This Paphiopedilum spicerianum is my first attempt to continue her tradition so it is very special to me.
I have had it for almost ten months, but it has unfortunately been having some troubles in recent weeks. I took the photo below to show the full range of issues it has been experiencing, and would be glad to take more photos or add more details if needed.
From left to right in the photo: healthier leaves, yellow leaf, dark leaf with scar, wrinkled leaf with scar, wrinkled leaf without scar.
Some information that might be helpful:
- The wrinkled leaves face a large northeast window that is about six feet away
- The scars only occur where the leaves touch the edge of the container (could they be from the container heating up in sunlight?)
- Not all of the wrinkled leaves are older crowns, and they are becoming thinner, drier, and more curled as time goes on
- The other side of the plant is green and looks healthy
- I repotted after this photo into a container with drainage and removed rotted roots
Thank you so much to anyone who is able to help!
