    Problem with Psychopsis mariposa 'Green Valley'

    Well, she is blooming again - two buds, and has put out another new growth. The stubborn dead leaves are not going to be dropped. OK then plant, you do you. (Shrugs)

    Problem with Psychopsis mariposa 'Green Valley'

    Will do. I have just had a look at her and surprisingly, she appears to be in full bud again. One bud is through the sheaf and the other two are just swelling up inside of theirs. The last time, the buds turned yellow and died. They had green leaves then, now there is two brown ones. Very...

    Problem with Psychopsis mariposa 'Green Valley'

    Thanks for the advice. I am going to leave her be however and just observe her for now. If I see her start to deteriorate at a more alarming rate i.e., her pbulbs start to rot, then I shall remove and repot asap!

    Problem with Psychopsis mariposa 'Green Valley'

    Only when she gets dry. She is doing great with her roots. She is still healthy all over. Really firm pbulbs, healthy green spikes. One leaf has been dry and brown for four months now but her spike is still green and her pbulb is also green and firm. Just the dead leaf stubbornly holding on for...

    Sorry for my late responses. I was not notified about futher responses. I do not have mealy bugs!! I can assure everyone of that. I am sure that the plant is still healthy. I have no idea what is happening but I just intend to observe for now. Thanks for the advice.

    I know, that is why I was suspicious. She is still hanging on - for now.

    Problem with Psychopsis mariposa 'Green Valley'

    Wow. Bloomed to death eh? Gosh doesn't sound too good however I shall wait and see with the spikes. Whilst the pbulbs are fat and green, I feel it best just to watch and wait. That no one knows for sure what the problem is, I don't feel as bad now. Thanks for your reply.

    Problem with Psychopsis mariposa 'Green Valley'

    Thanks for the tip but there are no mealies, just diatomaceous earth - but I will go and check.

    Problem with Psychopsis mariposa 'Green Valley'

    All I can say is that the leaves are yellowing / browning in the order that they appeared. The oldest was the first to go, now the second oldest, the next one looks like it will be soon joining in. This year's leaf is still bright green. Hmmm?

    Problem with Psychopsis mariposa 'Green Valley'

    Hi Ray, the roots are fine - lots of new emerging ones with bright tips, the white spot is diatomaceous earth and the bark is relatively new - this year. I am hoping that it is just sunburn. I might loose a few blooming seasons till she makes new bulbs and leaves again. Her bulbs are full and...

    Problem with Psychopsis mariposa 'Green Valley'

    My beloved psychopsis has three spikes. Just a few months ago she gave me three simultaneous blooms and they were very delightful. A few months on she has again began to bud up but this time only two spikes are involved. A few months ago one leaf turned yellow then brown although it was a very...

    Phrag Tall Tails problem

    I have had this for a while but just today I noticed that a leaf appears to be showing signs of having an issue of some kind. Here is the same problem on my brand new Vanda coerulea pink 'big'. I guess I have a virus of some kind - not me ha ha, but my plants. Oh the joys. Can anyone...
