Hi everyone

A friend of mine has a Moth Orchid (Phalaenopsis) that she is concerned about. The flowers are
curling inward and some of the branches have gone a bit yellow. Would you know if she is doing
anything wrong - eg too little/too much water, or feed, or the plant is not warm enough?

Thanks for any suggestions

Possibly too much watering and not enough drainage. Water only when nearly
bone dry and don't let it stand in water.

This is how I killed my first orchid,these problems were the same. after
watering, allow the water to drain before putting into any decorative
pot.Allow them to slightly dry between watering,I water mine about every 7
to 10 days.
Anyone interested in orchids should try the news group rec.gardens.orchids.
