Default Worried about my Aerangis Verdicosa

Hi there Gary, Another reason I am worried is because I aquired a number of
these Africans, indirectly from a
grower in S.Africa. Upon looking at my data base, it's these ones that are
croaking on me?
Will try the Physan & see what happens.
On the shoe box routine, you just need one of those little computer fans!
*G*
Cheers Wendy

I didn't have an aeringis do this but I did have a Meiracyllium do it. I
dunked it for a while in Physan, gave it a little more shade for a while,
and packed the clay pot below with sphagnum for increased constant
humidity. I placed one, one time, in a plastic shoe box and lost it. Too
much humidity? No air movement. Anyway, it has recouperated but not yet
regrown to its former self.

I am worried abou my Aerangis Verdicosa. The leaves seem to shrivel then
turn this pinkish
orangy color & drop off. I have lost two other African species the same
way.
What to do?
They get watered twice a week in this warm weather & reside in my
slightly
warmer intermediate g/h environment.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Cheers Wendy
