 Phal Flowers Schrivelling up!
I bought an orchid plant about 6 weeks ago and it had four beautiful flowers and many buds, all the buds bloomed a new flower one by one and when it was finished the first flowers started to die. What is going on with this plant? I've never owned an orchid before. Is this a normal blooming/dying cycle for the flowers? I read a lot about the media draining etc, so I checked and it was quite mushy and not draining well. I removed the first 2 dead flowers and repotted it in new media bought from Home Depot. Orchid mix. Also, I bought some orchid food and I've been watering it only about 1-2x per week with the food. Now, another flower has shrivelled up! Should I remove this dying flower also? What is going to happen? Is this plant going to just keep losing flowers one by one? I've attached two pictures, one is from when I first bought it and before all the flower bloomed and one today where you can see the flower at the top is all schriveled up.
Any help would be wonderful!
