2 repot or not, and the leaves and what rot? ;)
Hello everyone!
Because I am new to phrags and vandas and catts, I have a bunch of pictures and questions. I don't know in which order they will come in the post, so there'll be a guessing game to
First, conditions for each:
Phrags - made a sort of wilderness for them, with the ultrasonic fogger and a tiny waterfall. All sit in zink containers in water (about 2 cm in it). They get a light shower every morning and afternoon. My place is dry enough so that every droplet vanishes in about 30 minutes.
Vandas: towards the south window, 1,5 m from it, extra light source in form of a halogen strong reading lamp. Root bath every other day, root shower at least once daily (they are literally hanging by my ear, I feel them and spray often during the evenings)
Cattleyas: south windowsill, extra light in form of a fluorescent strong lightbulb, daily leaf shower, been parchimonious with the water so far, keep checking for the pot weight.
Temperature seems to stay between 18*C at night and 21-22 by day.
Questions:
1. What do you think that I should do for this cattleya Mahalo Jack, it has been repotted a week ago, is there anything else that I could do for it? The other just finished flowering, should I repot her as well?
2. These are some of my phrags. As you can see, I have a new growth that is hanging in the air, is it good to have a sphag bandage under/around it to stimulate root develoment?Repot?
3. What is with the brown leaf tips, should I worry? What about those funny markings on the leaves?
4. Should I cut the empty spike or leave it coz its perky?
5. This is a spike on my vanda that grew well until yesterday when it showed signs of yellowing as you can see and today it looks rather wrinkly(
All help is appreciated, I looked everywhere on the site and couldn't find my specific problems!
Thank you,
Laura
