What is the cause for Phals with floppy leaves (not dehydration) Female
Default What is the cause for Phals with floppy leaves (not dehydration)

Hi orchid friends. I have question: what is the reason for some Phals to have floppy/limp leaves when they are not dehydrated?

I’ve noticed this with 2 of my Phals (both are from the same USA grower - Plainview Pure Orchids in New Jersey). They both have very light green leaves with that red suntan (possibly received a lot of light at the nursery?)

Could it be an issue of the plant not receiving enough calcium while at the nursery? The newest leaf on one of them (under my care) is growing much more turgid/stiff.

Has anyone else experienced this? Just found it curious 😄
