Major discoloration in "perfect" surroundings...
Hello from a relatively new Orchider,
I have an issue with two successful Phals, and one I was "nursing" and cannot gain improvement.
The successful phals, smaller ones (is is a mini I believe), have gone from perfect roots and perfect leaves to darker, flimsy leaves.
The large phal in nursing has always had darker leaves with good roots, the roots have improved, but the leaves have only gotten darker and more shrively. They're not purple. The old leaves were splitting so I have a yummy food for that mineral deficiency.
It was very heavily flowering when I purchased it (continued to flower on many spikes, I had about 35 blooms), so when it finished, I prayed it could use the energy in healing, especially with the new leaf. But the darn thing seems to want to flower to death.
The chids are in a south-facing window of my climate-controlled office in SoCal. Window is slightly tinted for glare.
The little ones have been declining in the last two weeks, after being lovely for months....
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated - this is my first spike from any of my orchids, I really hope I don't have to cut it!
Thank you so much!
