Hi guys!

So two weeks ago I went to a NOS auction and bought 3 new orchids. One of them was a paphiolpedilum, and the plastic pot was broken by the auctioneer. I didn't want to change the pot...

I think it's that when you get a new plant, if it has new growths---those are full, and then that orchid grows more leads and new bulbs (etc) and in contrast the older bulbs look less---full.

LOL, no---it's actually quite a floral smell, and very pleasant. Candy smells I think are more in the oncidium (Twinkle and Sherry Baby---respectively Vanilla and coco-puff chocolate).

Yeah, from what I understand that's a water issue. Too much or too little---the roots weren't able to absorb water.

turning yellow and falling off, could be due to light or lack of water (which if you don't water it enough---or if it's watered too much, the roots will rot). Did the leaves wrinkle?
