Hi everyone. Female
Default Hi everyone.

Hi, I'm new the forum and just wanted to introduce myself. I live in Madison, Wisconsin and have been collecting orchids for a little over a year. I switched my collection to s/h about 6 months ago, but have newer additions all the time. Unfortunately I live in a small apartment, and have one large patio window for sunlight. This keeps me from becoming the crazy orchid lady I have a question for s/h orchid growers out there. This might not be the right place to post it, but here goes: I have a seedling Phrag. Hanne Popow that has been in s/h for about 2 months. It's large enough that's it's bloomed already, but still pretty small. Anyway, lately the plant has been looking fairly yellow. The roots are all healthy looking and it is starting a new root and a new small new growth. One lower leaf is fairly yellow but does not appear ready to fall off, the rest of the plant also has a yellow tinge. Does not appear to have crown rot. Does anyone know what would cause this? I was thinking water quality and have been using distilled water lately but I can't tell if it's helping since the plant is still yellowish. I used neem oil on the plant when I first got it, as I do with all new additions. It sits next to phals and paphs which do not have yellow leaves, so I'm thinking it couldn't be getting too much sunlight. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!
