Phal. Hannover Passion Frost Damage and Care

[Jrhoades34]

I just received a Phalaenopsis hannover passion in the mail and its large leave has frost damage from shipping. Only 1 leave is damaged quite heavily. Any way I should treat this and do you think it will make it? There is little info about this specific type of phalaenopsis online.

Also, can anyone provide some insight on this orchid? Such as temperature range, lighting, etc. Very little or unreliable info online. Thanks!

Freeze damage leaves a wound that is unfortunately quite susceptible to infection. I recommend that you remove the damaged tissue and use a q-tip to dab cinnamon powder on the exposed cuts, as that will dry them and prevent infection.

According to the Baker culture sheet, Hannover passion like low light and high temperatures, with nighttime’s in the 75-85 range.
