Miltoniopsis Leaves Yellowing
I have had this Milt. Arnold Linsman "Hot & Spicy" about 2 months. Half of the buds were opened and the rest opened fine.
I give it a drink with CalMax once a week and let the water drain through the roots well. I fertilize at the same time with 1/2 the prescribed amount. I have also used KelpMax and Inocucor on it.
It sits on a SE facing lightly tinted window sill and gets leaf shaded broken sunshine in the morning.
About a month ago one of the small flanking side leaves from the large psudobulb turned yellow and fell off. Two weeks later the small leaf on the opposite side did the same. Now two weeks later one of the larger leaves is starting to yellow.
I just wonder if perhaps the plant is not getting enough light, lacks some mineral or is getting too much water. I plan on a re-pot after the blooms go. It is in sphagnum and stays pretty moist all week.
The plant came from a local orchid shop. I have to give it calcium because our water is lacking it.
Help would be appreciated. We really like the pansey blooms.
