Is my Gramm. doing okay I just got it and its leaves have me concerned? Its got a 1000 roots that while slightly mush not anything of major concern at this point. Is it normal from gramm leaves to look like this or does it have a fungus and what would i need to do to take care of it?

I was trying to clean out all dead roots when I pulled it off. Also the main stem has 2 happy looking growths.

Sorry I can't help, just giving your a bump and moving this to the Cymbidium section where hopefully there will be more people with knowledge of this one.

Perhaps not so much of a beginner orchid

Hopefully I will be able to get a reply

I thought the bulbs looked cym like but was like watch me put it here and it really go here.

Yeah, I'm not completely sure, but wikipedia says it's in the Cymbidium alliance... how much do you trust wikipedia... but it's all I had to go on

I did go ahead and spray it with Bayer 3-in-1 mite,disease and insect. Just incase it was an issue

Update its getting worse...came home and found these leaves....went ahead and cut them off. Re sprayed with bayer. Dabbed cinnamon on the cuts.

The phulbs are fat green and happy...and so are the roots what is going on.

Oh and have it in mid light, not to bright not to shady, it gets its shade from my large passion flower vine, and hibiscus. But still gets enough bright light.
