I recently transplanted two mature Phalaenopsis equestris plants to semi hydro. One of them is doing fine but this one has dry, wrinkled leaves. Because there's no signs of rot in the leaves or crown it almost seems like it's being underwatered? Should I water or mist the top of the pellets even though there's water in the reservoir? Should I unpot it and see what the roots are doing?
Actually, is misting the top of the LECA even beneficial? I started doing it on my plants that only had shallow roots and I think it helped.
Thanks!
