Thanks, Ray!

I do find my Cymbidiums go too dry in bark - is there a happy medium? (I grow them outside)

I moved it as I also thought it was sunburn. Thinking of putting it outside with my den's and cymbidium.

Regarding soaking, at least half an hour every time.

If not sunburn, what could this...

Laelia Anceps trouble!

Hi all!

I have had this Laelia for almost a year and it has always been very healthy. It flowered in June and put out a healthy new growth about a month ago.

It was my very first orchid, so a bit sentimental.

This is the rest of the plant. It has lost it's two big leaves, so this is what is left.

Thus, remove all leaves and plant the new growth?

I re-potted it and it looks much happier - I am worried it might be in too big a pot? It was an emergency op, so had to make due with what was at hand!
