Dear all,

Thank you for your quick responses! Bark seams fine and I dried it out. However the initial potting media, probably while this orchid was a baby some sort of sponge, which was very wet, that i completely removed. however roots seemed healthy green and all that i did is that i used a bit of hydrogen peroxide (3%) and let the roots to dry out. Than I put back the orchid and added a bit of fresh bark.

But orchid is getting more dry and yellow and has some texture on the same spot on the leaves. I haven't seen these kind of damage while googling and i am very curious and would also like to save it. @Carola - I am not sure that I understand how did you soak your Phal - like completely with leaves or just roots???? @Chemist, well I never water in evening just spray lightly bark if it was too hot. But who knows what kind of "industrial" treatment they do have before they come home

Could it be bacterial or virus infection??? On other leaves, for now, there are no similar damage. However one of the flower spike start yellowing. I do not care so much about it I just don't want it to die Maybe I should cut the infected leaves ??? :O if it continues yellowing?

I will check root once more tomorrow maybe they seemed healthy and they are not ... Thank you all once more... I will keep pyou updated...


See new pictures please for updates on leaves, bark, flower stem and roots .....
