Miltonia's death :-(
Hi,
I came back from holidays and I found my Miltonia (I don't know the complete name, it had beautiful big purple flowers) in agony ! Leaves had green tips but were yellow at the base and roots also were yellow/orange. Flowers came off just touching them ! I can't understand what happened ! In the same room I have Phals and some "miniatures" (I'm not sure of the transaltion, we call miniatures the orchids which grow in very little pots with nearly 5 cm diameter) and they had no problems ! Before leaving I watered and fertilezed all my orchids (with the same fertilizer), including some Odontoglossum (which are in good health in another room). After some days I was back the Miltonia lost all flowers and leaves and became completely yellow/orange. Maybe the fertilizer was ok for other orchids but not for Miltonia (unfortunately I don't know the composition) ? Or there was too less light ? The pot seemed little considering the Miltonia's size, but I bought it just 4 months ago...besides I've read that Miltonia's often are a bit tight. Any idea ? Elena |
