Hi .. my name is Amy and I am new to this as well. My stepdaughter bought my first orchid, a Phal, for Mother's Day and I became addicted to them. I have attended an orchid show in New Orleans and added a few different varieties to my collection ( I have 13 in all). I keep mine outdoors on my patio where there is no direct sunlight, but I have noticed yellow, brown and black spots on some of the leaves of my Phals (2 of which have keikis growing on them). I have no idea what to do and any suggestions would be appreciated (NOTE: I live in south Louisiana).

Thanks,

Amy

Hi Amy
Welcome to Orchidboard

Sounds like you've got a nice collection going there

Could you possibly post some pictures of the plants withthe spots...it might make it easier for us to try to figure it out.

If you need help, let us know

Welcome to the OB. Sorry no advice unless we can see pics. which would give us a better idea. Leaves do turn yellow and drop off, and the spots could be fungus or bacteria but I don't think so at this point.
We wish you well and continue to participate on the OB as we have a lots of good members.

Hello Amy, welcome to the OB. I am from North Louisiana, near Monroe. I am very new at this also. Just got my greenhouse completed and hoping the orchids get to feel really confortable in it. They have had a had life these last few months. Hope to meet some day soon.

Welcome Amy, There is a nice orchid society in Houma it is the Terrebonne Orchid society, It has some wonderful growers and at least two venders. I belonged to it for several years.
