Why does an orchid leaf split?
The last time was right after my room mate drop the pot and I thought it was caused by the
stress of having to be repotted. Nothing has happened this time. It is the biggest leaf on
the plant.

Douglas Hunt on Jan 31, 2014I assume you have a Phalaenopsis, Shirley. The most common reason I've found given for leaf splitting is a lack of humidity.Helpful Reply

Shirley Hamilton on Feb 04, 2014I need a clarification about a response. The one response was not enough humidity. How can I provide more humidity. It sits on a shelf below my kitchen window, so it gets moisture when I am doing dishes, Also my washer and dryer are in the kitchen so it gets moisture when I am doing laundry, which is almost everyday.Helpful Reply

Shirley Hamilton on Feb 05, 2014Thank you Douglas. I just bought a new pot and saucer along with a bark planting medium. My orchid is getting ready to bloom so I am wondering if I should go ahead and re-pot it now or wait till it is finished blooming. Don't want to over stress it. Thank you for your answers. Really appreciate them.Helpful Reply
