My orchid is only growing one new leaf a year (and one old one dies off). It does grow a new stalk and flowers every year, but the flowers are understandably small.
I've tried everything to keep this orchid happy, and I'm at my wit's end at this point.
It's growing in bark, there's plenty of air circulation (there's plenty of space between the inner and outer pot), the temp is 70-73 F, I give it a weak dose of fertilizer weekly.
I've tried watering less often, more often, I've placed it in various locations in the house. Still no progress. I do wait about half a year between new strategies, to prevent "confusing" it.
The leaves are thin and droop down, but they are firm to the touch and green. But they are just not growing. The roots, although healthy, are also growing fairly slowly.
Meanwhile, my parents have a bunch of orchids that they keep in the same plotting mix that they bought them in, they water them using the much-maligned icecube method, and yet of course they're flourishing.
Any ideas?
