Psyhopsis Mendenhall nutrient deficiency/re-pot ? Male
Default Psyhopsis Mendenhall nutrient deficiency/re-pot ?

I’ve had this psychopsis for around 5 years now, I bought it as a single bulb at the orchid expo. It is without a doubt my easiest and most rewarding orchid in my collection.

The plant currently has 2 flower spikes which have given me a steady show of flowers for the last 2 years without fail.

I have not repotted this in about 3 or 4 years and am terrified to do so!!! Every time I go to re-pot it I freak out and don’t as I don’t want to kill the plant, But I’m certain I have no choice at this point. It is currently putting out 4 leads all at different stages of growth.

Although the new growths still seem to come out beautifully I have noticed all the older leaves looking rather sickly and the new leaves turn the same shortly after maturity.Has anyone seen this before? I’m assuming it is a nutrient deficiency of some kind and am considering removing the spikes so it can focus on growth. I do have a pretty steady fertilizer routine but it’s the only cause I can think of.

Any ideas? I adore this plant more than anything, it would break my heart to lose it!
