Argh!
We had a bit of a freak heat wave in NYC, and my orchid dropped all its flowers. I have a P.Atienyuki x P.Taisuco Kaaladian, white, although that is foreign language to me. One of the branches that the flowers grow off of has turned brown and began to fold like an accordion. I did notice though there is a new shoot beginning to grow from the base of that branch. I trimmed back what was dead, but it still seems to be shriveling. Is there a way for me to save the shoot? The other branch seems green and healthy, although all the flowers are gone. Next problem… one of the leaves feels very leather like, and the outer edge has turned a yellowish brown. What do I do? I water my plant 2 times a week, once with orchid food. Any suggestions?
