Path. Delinati - Orchid Board

Danie · #1 04-10-2018, 10:26 AM

My Path. Delinati flowered in 2016 and has not flowered since. One leaf turned yellow and I had to cut it off this week. It has only 3 large leaves left. What am I doing wrong? It is in a terrarium with other healthy orchids so it is in a humid environment. Maybe the light is too strong?
Thank you for your advice.

That leaf colour is definitely off when I compare to mine that blooms regularly. These like temps in the 70's but also require a cool down period of about 8 weeks in Fall - around 60f. If your temps are ok, then move near to a south facing window if possible

Oh, OK. Maybe it is too hot in the terrarium. I'll take it out and put it on the south facing windowsill.
Thank you, I appreciate your advice.
Have a great day!
