MILTONIAS: Growths Turn Yellowish-green and Fall
Perhaps over-watering or accumulating salts in the medium cause this to new growths; try applying water liberally to the dry plants, after 15 minutes repeat. A77-527

MILTONIAS: Leaves Show Sudden Brown Patches
Sample inspected showed no pathogens; the tip burn may have been caused by too strong fertilizer or lack of leaching. A65-910

MILTONIAS: Leaves with Accordion-like Pleats
Possibly a physiological disease; may show deficiency of minor elements; it is generally a temporary condition; plants grow out of it. A61-659

MILTONIAS: Light Requirements
Shade them in the summer; Colombia types like 1,000 to 1,500 fc, and can be grown with paphiopedilums; Brazilian types like about 2,000 to 3,500fc. and can be grown with cattleyas. OD74-101

MILTONIAS: Pleating Leaves
The real cause is more complex than ever explained before, it is caused by stress within- the plant brought on by conditions where both the greenhouse and the plant are too dry at the same time, immediately following a wet period for both; opposition is set up between met and dry periods and the plant cells experience a burst of growth followed by a shock of dryness; fluctuations must be avoided and an evaporative cooler is almost a must even in cool-weather country. Poul Hansen (Victoria, B.C.,1988)

MILTONIAS: Pleating of Leaves, Accordion Style
This is most commonly caused by insufficient watering during the "expansion" stage of the new growths; the cool-growing types do not like to dry out between waterings and if watering is missed for a time, the leaves suffer a set-back. A82-920

MILTONIAS: Potting Mix Recommended
Two parts chopped osmunda fiber; one part live sphagnum, a small amount of well-rotted cow manure added; water liberally when growing. A64-114

MILTONIAS: Rootless Plants
Place them in an air-tight plastic bag with some moist sphagnum, inflate it by mouth for the carbon dioxide administered, seal it tightly; repeat fortnightly, re-moistening as necessary; when roots form, repot. A85-966
