I NEED HELP WITH MY ORCHID.

10 years ago

First of all, I would like to ask what orchid is it(paphiopedilum, vanda, phalaenopsis etc.) and second, what's wrong with it?

The upper half of my orchid looks almost wilt, and the flowers too.

Location:Thessaloniki(coastal area), Greece.

I bought it, one and a half month ago.

It is monopodial.

The potting media when I bought it, was suitable for orchids, but I do not now the composition of the potting media I used during the transplanting.

The pot is plastic.

I water it with bottled water once a week, but after seeing these symptoms I rarely water it.

I do not fertilize it.

I put it in my bedroom, almost opposite the east -facing balcony glass door, and away of the heating source.

During the transplanting less than 1/3 of the roots were damaged.

Is it a matter of watering, not fertilizig, light conditions, potting media, time of transplanting, bad treatment during the transplanting or all of them? Or is it transplanting stress; and maybe the plant will recover after several days?
