Miltoniopsis - Newton Falls - Drooping Flowers
Good afternoon to you all,
A newbie to Miltoniopsis and really really need some advice.
My son recently bought me a Miltoniopsis - Newton Falls. It is absolutely stunning, but I have never kept one of these before so bought the book DK RHS 'Orchids' to help along the way. When I first got it, the soil was dry but the orchid was fine. In the above mentioned book it says to not allow the soil to dry out, so I gave it some water. It then pretty much dried out again showing how dry the soil was to start off with and all the flowers have now drooped, since then they have not perked up and the outer leaves (1 from each side) have gone a little yellow despite the soil now being moist. I have added a bowl with gravel around the outside to help with the humidity as well after reading this up on google however I am not convinced this cure is for this particular species (?). It is currently in our living room in non-direct sunlight.
Any help would be much appreciated :-)
Regards,
Marilyn.
