Question...so I have been growing for about 18 months and as I stated earlier, b/c of the power going out for a week in January, I lost all of my phalanopsis but 3. The 3 that survived, plus 2 new acquisitions are not doing well. The ones I lost in the power outage were not exactly thriving, either. As far as I can tell, I am doing everything right. They have robust roots, I water every day as they are in large grade orchiciata bark, are in dappled shade, and my humidity is a constant 80%. Temps are in low 60’s to 70’s. They look like they are under watered and subjected to low humidity. Leaves are limp, and leathery. I fertilize with Nutricote every six months, and bump that routine with Ray’s Regime, weakly, weekly. My other orchids are thriving. I have exclusively Angraecoids, and Cattleyas. I just have no idea where I’m going wrong. I have read everything I can on the forum including the Phal AbuseStops Here, etc.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. In addition, the Phal have come from my local Lowe’s. Thanks for listening.
