I got a phalaenopsis hybrid (dunno what), that was blooming, but after a
while one of the leaves started going a bit limp and wrinkled. From the
old
flower stem it shot out a new stem with new buds, but then the next two
leaves started getting wrinkled too.
I thought I might have given the plant too much water, and decided to
replant it in a pot with a less dense compost. When I replanted the Phal.
I
noticed it had very few roots left. I decided to cut off the flower stem
with the new buds, hoping the plant would use it's energy on growing new
roots instead of flowering.

It has now been a few weeks and I haven't seen any change, how long will
it
take before I know if my phal is going to get better or worse?



I had similar symptoms with a phal. I think that I was paying to much
attention to the "don't overwater" warning and was, in fact, underwatering.
I have been watering more often (about every 5 days rather than every 8-9
days) and it is looking better. Too soon to tell if it is really cured, tho.
