Phalaenopsis 'Liodoro' problems — and how to fix them
Phalaenopsis 'Liodoro' (Phalaenopsis 'Liodoro') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Loss of fragrance / failure to rebloom
Both are usually temperature-driven. This violacea-type hybrid needs sustained warmth and bright indirect light; cool or dim conditions suppress scent and flowering.
Bud blast
Drafts, dry air, big temperature swings, or nearby ripening fruit cause buds to yellow and drop. Maintain stable warmth and humidity through the budding period.
Root rot and limp leaves
Overwatering or a waterlogged mix collapses the roots, leaving leaves soft and wrinkled. Repot into fresh bark, trimming dead roots, and water only when nearly dry.
Crown rot
Water trapped in the crown rots the growing point and is often fatal. Water at the base, keep the crown dry, and ensure foliage dries before evening.
