A few weeks ago I picked up a Spiranthes cernua from the botanical garden and placed it in a distilled water filled tray beside my bog garden. Today I noticed that most of the leaves are have turned yellow.

I’ve done some googling and can’t seem to find anything to tell me if this is normal or not. If not, any suggestions on what to do? I left it in the potting medium it came in but am considering changing it to the same medium I use for my bog (sand and peat).
Thanks in advance!
