Paper towel issue....
Paper towel issue....
Ok I just acquired a Phaleonopsis, it is in an adequate size pot and the medium seems to be ok. There are roots on top that have some damage and are drying and dying but it is putting up new aerial roots (I assume to replace the dying ones). The only issue I have is it does not seem to be drying out as fast as it should, I was looking at it today and noticed there was entirely to much condensation on the inside of the pot (another reason I did not repot the pot it cam in was clear). I started looking and noticed what seemed to be a square of paper towel or perhaps a folded paper towel in the bottom of the pot and I am not sure if it being there is allowing enough air flow through the pot, and maybe letting it retain too much water. Now nothing seems to be wrong but without repotting I cannot be sure, and I am trying not to until it has finished blooming and giving it some time to get accustomed to the new environment, I was curious if others have run across this before and what was your experience? Thanks in advance…
