There are green spots in my Phalaenopsis Orchid, what should I do

17 years ago

Besides the light green spots in the white petals, it looks like there going to fall, they are all wrinkled :( Also, one of the leaf has a spot that is growing, it was black, then yellow and now is like brown. By the way, it's blooming. I water it once a week and feed it twice a month, help me pleeeese, I don't want to lose it.

Missha, this is the place where people post photos of their you-beaut orchids. You will get better response if you post on the Discussions page.

What is wrong with the flowers? Perhaps nothing, they might be dying of old age. How long have they been in-bloom. Where are you in the USA. Is this your first Orchid? How long have you owned orchid? Temperatures? Sunlight.

Anyway, repost with more information or add to one of the existing Problem Phal. posts to get help.
