Phalaenopsis species update + Care tips
Today we take a look at my Phalaenopsis summer blooming species and see how they are doing. Also I’ll include a few tips regarding water and the effects of drought.

Since most of my species are recent and with already considerable stress, things did not evolve so fast. But I also contributed to the stress by the use of an inappropriate setup and water regime.
The story is written on the leaves, the strangulation and curving observed at the tip formed as new leaves were growing in the clay setup. They were deprived of water as this setup encouraged fast drying.. NOT what they want!
Since switching things corrected themselves immediately and leaves grow normal! The strangulation effect can also appear when new leaves form and are paused for flower spikes production, we are also talking about lack of energy and water, but in that case it is because it is redirected to spikes. These orchids did not pause their leaves for the flowers, it is purely the result of inadequate watering. So remember they prefer even moisture than drying out!
