Default HELP with Paph

Hello!

I`m not a Paph expert but my guess will be too much water and fertilizer!

You can go once a month or every other week with the fertilizer ( very
diluted ! If the recipe on the bottle says 1 teaspoon per gallon, cut that
by 4, 1/4 teaspoon per gallon ).
Try to cut down on the water!

| Hello,
|
| I purchased this Paph in March at the SFOS in Miami, it already had a
| bruised spot on the leaf but took a chance as I got a great deal. Well the
| damaged leaf has turned yellow and the bruised spot has gotten bigger, I
| figured I would lose that leaf anyway. But the other leaf is also turning
a
| yellow color with brown closer to the stem.
|
| It now lives in a bright west window in Michigan, it gets very little to
no
| direct sunlight as a shade is pulled when the sunlight is direct about two
| hours. It also is not subject to drafts. In fact it shares a table with
| another Paph (larger and doing great) a Cat a Phal and a Phrag they all
seem
| to do good and have new growth.
|
| I water twice a week, the water has Schultz 19-31-17 Orchid food mixed in.
| The medium seems to be Vermiculite and small bark chips with little white
| pieces of foam.
|
| Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
|
| Thanks,
| Gary
