Thank you, Ray. I appreciate the advice!

Thank you, NYCorchidman. I've reduced the light levels and sprayed it with physan. I think you're right - it was just getting too much light. For some reason, my greenhouse is suddenly too bright...

Thank you, everyone, for taking the time to respond. I have another orchid that has pigment from high light, too, and was wondering if that's what it was. I'll spray it just in case.

I agree with James. Once the orchid is established, I let the moss fall away (or take it away if it doesn't). I've had problems with old moss that's darkened causing root rot.

No, I'm talking about even in hanging baskets and mesh pots. The center still stays wet way longer than you'd expect. At least, that's been my experience.

I use spaghnum moss for some of my orchids, but not many. (And I almost always use mesh pots or baskets.)

Thank you for your response! I use charcoal in all of my pots just about, so that makes sense. I cut a few, but left most of them. I hope I didn't harm the orchid.
