    I have dendrochilum tennellum that is loosing all of its grass like leaves. they seem to be getting brown and then fall off. At first I thought I was watering it too much and then not enough....I am giving it more light in hope to save it and the temperatures are ok for this plant. I have now taken it out of the medium and letting it be a bare root in pot and watering from the bottom every day..... Any suggestions as to how I might save it? Help

    How were you growing it when the problem started? Light source? Temperature at night? Temperature during the day? What type of medium? Type and size of pot?

    What kind if water do you use? Water quality may be an issue if your using softened or well water with a high tds.
