I just found this forum and find it quite helpful! I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. I have always been nervous about growing orchids, I had heard they were really difficult (!), but I received one for Mother's Day and I don't want it to die!
When I got it, it was healthy with lots of flowers and buds. What is happening now is that one leaf at a time will turn yellow and fall off, and then another leaf starts the same process!?! I was thinking of repotting because the mixture it came in is mostly moss. The top roots that I can see look OK, but the roots that poke out of the bottom of the inner pot lining are soft and mushy and fall off if I touch them. I am watering once a week, but I'm worried that it's retaining too much water because of the potting mix?
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
Kathy
