Hello all, again. My Paphs--sukhakulii, gratrixianum, Magic Lantern, and a few
others just don't seem to be doing well. The leaves, especially the older
ones, are pale, yellowish and waxy, and they don't seem to be growing at all.
My growing conditions: in my bedroom, days 65-70F, nights 52-55F, about 30-40%
relative humidity, some ambient light and about 12-15inches under 4ft.
flourescent lights. I try to keep them moist and feed with weak paph
fertilizer supplemented with calcium and magnesium. I use RO water the rest of
the time. Is it just too cold for them or what? Too much light? I do have a
mini phal that is in spike, but has sort of reddish tinge to the outer edges of
the leaves and is not a strong looking plant...Thanks for any feedback. Other
genera are doing okay. Cattleya skinneri is in full bloom!
