Whats causing the leaves of my Phalaenopsis to become limp and lose their dark green color?
Overwatering is the most frequent cause of failure with Phalaenopsis, Moth Orchid. Water your plant moderately when the top inch or two of soil is dry to the touch. Always empty all drainage water promptly after each watering. Examine your soil. Deteriorated soil often fails to drain properly. Keep your plant well lighted and at temperatures in the range 65-75F. Apply a dilute solution of balanced fertilizer, such as 20-20-20, every couple of weeks as a regular watering.
