Finally bought my first orchid 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I accidentally left it out in the hot AZ sun while I was at work & now it has ugly brown patches on the leaves. My heart just about sank, but luckily I've found this great website. I'm sure I'll be able to save it with the wonderful advice I've found here. I'm new to growing orchids so I knew there'd be a few casualties at first, but my orchid is so beautiful & I've already grown quite attached. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it'll be saved!
Hope you manage to save you Phal. It might help to start a thread and post some pics of it so that people can give you some specific advise.
I got lots of good advise when I first came here and my Phal that was in trouble then is still alive now, it's so great to have so many knowledgable people arround here.
