Prosthechea Cochleata
Default Prosthechea Cochleata

Hello everyone

Got a bit of a problem with my Prosthechea Cochleata. I got it a few weeks ago and it was fine until about a week ago where a leaf turned yellow and then dried up and fell off completely. I'd watered it a fair bit, but then stopped when that happened. I havent watered it since as I thought it may have been overwatered however now more of the leaves are doing the same.

Don't really know what to do as it isnt getting too cold or anything..too much water initially perhaps? Or maybe its just the change from where I bought it to my house (might just need to re-adjust to the temperatures etc.)

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks!

If other leaf tips are turning brown it could be do to lack of water or bad roots. My cochleata shed two of it's older leaves this month. At the same time it was still growing and blooming so I chalked the leaf loss as being normal.

They do occasionally drop leaves on mature/older p-bulbs. Mine and but like Junebug it was also growing so I didn't worry too much.

What potting media is it in?
Have you checked the roots?
