    Default Ailing Phalaenopsis

    Hi I'm new here. I have a problem with one of my phalaenopsis. As you can see in the pictures, the leaves have ridges and wrinkles, which I think is mesophyll cell collapse. I have been watering it regularly like my other orchids, so I'm not sure what is wrong. I'm thinking it may be exposure to too low of temperatures, since my brother will turn the heat completely off in our apartment, and I live in Michigan, so it's really cold. This has happened to other orchids of mine before, most of which subsequently died. I don't know if I can rehabilitate it or if I should just toss it. I'd like to prevent it from happening again. I usually have no problems with most of my orchids, and I've been growing them since I was 16. Is there anything I can do?
