So, my orchid has wrinkly leafs and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Any advice?

Betty looks dehydrated to me. Looking at her roots will give you a good idea if she want a more of less water.

They’re plump and whitish green

Healthy roots are a good thing! It might be the way you water. When watering my orchids, I wait until the media is dry and then soak the pot for 15min.

Leafmealone’s suggestion of clear pots is excellent. I find it is difficult to use the touch method to determine moisture in bark.

Luckily phals are super tough and really forgiving.

Ok thx

I pot my orchids in clear plastic pots with orchid bark so I can monitor the roots. If they are green they are hydrated but if silvery they need some water.
