I have had my lovely new Vanda coerulea for a week only but already I have noticed that it does not look too good anymore. When it arrived after a week in transit it had one yellowing leaf. Now, after it has already lost two yellow leaves, I can see that it is turning yellow at the stem as well!! Is it the end for my new friend?
This is how it looked last week
Turning yellow
These were taken today
I spray once / twice a day depending on weather temp. I have fed it twice since I have had it -once a week using Orchid Focus grow at quarter strength. It sits on a south east facing windowsill and gets lots of bright sun from behind a net curtain. It is obviously growing in a glass vase. And that is all I can think off at the moment. I have had some advice already which said that it is normal for it to drop the older leaves -which it has been doing as the falling yellowing leaves are at the base of the plant, but today I can see that the yellowness is spreading to the main stem of the Vanda and the leaves are looking wrinkled. Oh why is this happening???? Please help me save her. She is very special to me.
