I haven\'t had it long. It\'s in Orchid Mix and has been watered with a nutrient additive, added to the water. The leaves are just turning yellow and brown on the outer edges, and the flowers are turning brown, becoming very brittle and crinkly. The soil is still damp, and it\'s placed on the dining room table, where it\'s warm with medium indirect light, and I mist it every other day. The buds that were on it have dried out and fallen off.
What am I doing wrong.?
