Just let it be. Eventually it'll drop when it's ready, in the meantime the green part continues to photosynthesize and nourish the plant. Your house is on the cool side for a Phal - it won't be...

This one is a particularly complex intergeneric - like 4 different genera are involved, only about 25% various Zygopetalums, also 1/4 each of Aganisia, Pabstia, and Zygosepalum. So behavior of...

It's in the Zygo group, complex intergeneric. (Photos in Orchidwiz are really nice!) I agree with fishmom, probably just getting ready to shed some leaves, which Zygos do. Also, I have found that...

That looks great! If that barn has been around for 85 years, I think that you can say that the wood is durable! And clearly, the plant likes it.

The new pot looks fine. I'd break the small pot, anything stays attached to a piece of the pot leave attached (will fit in the new pot better if you remove at least some of the old pot), plus it...

I have gotten a few things on bottlebrush wood from him, not many... it's all matter of timing. Those trees are really common in landscaping in southern California, so getting it is a matter of...

I don't treat the wood at all... just stack it in my garage or on the patio until I'm ready to use it. Bottlebrush does not have any noticeable resin. (That is likely the problem with pine.) Even...

A rough surface (bark firmly attached) gives the roots something to grab on to. I have had very good luck with the "core" of tree fern (without the fuzz or fiber) but it breaks down in a few years. ...

Clay is good to help roots dry out fast (which they really need to do). Also keeps them cooler. Leptotes bicolor handles a wide range of temperature, I think, but it is very cold-tolerant (I grow it...

Great flower power! The floof comes in the sheer volume of blooms. Well done!

I think the roots look good - all of those branches give lots of surface area to hold water and hydrate the plant. Water at least daily (you can't overwater a bare-root plant like yours)

I have never seen a spike actually heal itself, but often if the more "woody" part breaks but the water-conducting parts just bent, the spike may very well continue to develop normally. If so, good...

I think that you are correct... you do the best that you can do - we all make compromises. In a few months, you will get rain, which will help the situation a lot.

You won't get to pH 5 lr 4.5 with vinegar - it's a weak acid. I think the gradual approach is better. And citric acid might work better than vinegar, it is also a chelating agent. (if you can get...
