Default Moth orchid problem?

This is how I killed my first orchid,these problems were the same. after
watering, allow the water to drain before putting into any decorative
pot.Allow them to slightly dry between watering,I water mine about every 7
to 10 days.
Anyone interested in orchids should try the news group rec.gardens.orchids.
thanks keith

Hi everyone

A friend of mine has a Moth Orchid (Phalaenopsis) that she is concerned

about.
The flowers are
curling inward and some of the branches have gone a bit yellow. Would

you
know if she is doing
anything wrong - eg too little/too much water, or feed, or the plant is

not
warm enough?

Thanks for any suggestions

Paul


Possibly too much watering and not enough drainage. Water only when

nearly
bone dry and don't let it stand in water.
