Moved my first orchid into the same place I keep all the other orchids. I noticed this one wasn't growing and I have had it for a long time, but my other ones were growing like crazy so I moved it to the same area and it started growing a new leaf finally, but its purple? Anyone know why?

Did you move it somewhere that gets more light? I have noticed that Phalaenopsis don't require an awful lot of light. If the phal is getting more light the leaves tend to color up.(Those leaves look really nice, by the way!)

I moved it to a place that gets more than it was, but it seems the other ones are growing normally in the same conditions.
