(Phal) yellowing leaves and flower drop
Hello Orchids experts,
I hope you can help, as you're my last resort before I publicly proclaim myself as an orchid killer :(
two weeks ago my sweetheart gave me a Phal with three spikes with blooming flowers and six buds
I watered it for the first time a week after I got it, but now, 6 out of the 9 blooming flower closed their petals and are about to fall, I have also lost one of the six buds, and have three of the remaining buds looking pink and soft (i think they are going to fall off too)
the good news however, is that, ONE of the buds opened into a full orchid flower and looks nice
the leaves look green except with the bottom one which turned lighter in color (has lettece color now) after i watered it
what am i doing wrong?? is it dying? it is pretty awful to see all these flowers wilting, and not havin hope to see the buds bloom
help please
God bless
