I purchased a Phal. tetraspis C1 early this year. It has been doing very well. Good color, new leaf, etc. Today I went to water it and it has crown rotted all the leaves off. I am so sad. Anyone know where I can get another one reasonable????

Oh no! Sorry to hear about you're orchid. Not to sure where myself. But I'll just bet you'll have plenty of info on where to get another. Many enabliers around here, you know?!

Good luck on you're search Jonada

Thanks, Gloria. It was a real bummer because it was fine at the last watering.

How sad. I've killed many in my time and sometimes all it take is another try.

Same thing has happened to me. You literally go through a mourning process or so I did.

I was just crushed when I first saw it today. I still can't believe it went down hill so fast!

Yeah it doesnt take them long to turn south. Hang in there and I find retail therapy helps. Go get you some more orchids.

So sorry to hear about your plant, Jonada....

Sorry to hear of your mishap with your C1. I think we all understand how you're feeling right now.
As Bud has said there are some for sale on ebay. I don't remember seeing any for sale online elsewhere.
Hopefully you haven't thrown your plant out just yet. If you still have a good root system there is the chance that a basal keiki could develope from the main stem. Just keep caring for it as you had previously and with alittle luck it will come back to life! GL!!
