DaisyI said:You can remove calcium buildup from your orchid leaves with any mildly acidic solution such as white vinegar, lemon juice, Sprite or 7-up. Dip a soft cloth in the liquid and gently wipe a leaf, top and bottom. Then rinse and move on to the next leaf.

Thanks, Daisy. I tried white vinegar on my newly acquired Phal and it seemed working... but 'rinse' after wiping? Doesn't water-rinsing cause buildup again? Confused
If a plant looks good, smells good, don't eat it, grow it!
