Leaf Splitting

[Ray]

Orchid growers are sometimes plagued with leaf splitting in their collection, particularly with phalaenopsis, paphiopedilums, and occasionally cattleya-types and others.

There are a variety of theories intended to explain the reason for such issues, many relating to humidity, light levels, dehydration followed by heavy watering, and watering frequency, but I believe there may be a nutritional basis, either alone or in conjunction with other parameters, so the goal of this is to collect a wide range of experiences to see if there is any correlation.

If you have an interest and can spare a couple of minutes, would you please submit your "leaf splitting" experience using the form here?

I'll let it run for a week or more before I tabulate and share the results.

Thanks

This is interesting! I submitted a form. I was hoping there would be an additional 'comments' section somewhere. :P
