    Default C skinneri

    Hi
    i went to a nursery to buy phal. bellina but ended up with C. skinneri
    i have never tried C befor, you can see in the photos (sorry for the low qualitiy but i have a very simple digital pocket camera) some of the leaves are yellowish.
    is it due to over watering or is it due to high levels of fertilize or just to much exposure to the sun in some time of the plant life.
    the plant is in a clay pot why do C usually grown in clay pot?
    the media is a mix of bark and charcoal, in the bottom of the pot there are packging peanuts and 1 drainhole, and on the media surface there are small volcanic stones.
    I googled for photos of the C. skinneri and saw that mine i quite pale and color is fade, does to much sunlight fade the bloom colors?
