| shriveled phal. buds
I'm sure this is obvious, but I'm asking just to be sure. I got a beautiful phalaenopsis from Sam's (big warehouse-type store) for my birthday. I wasn't able to pick it out -- it was a gift. So when I got it, it had almost ten flowers and four buds at the end of one stem. (It has two flower stems... is it two plants??) The growing medium was moist, so I didn't water it for a few days. however, three of the buds turned peach coloured (orig. green), shriveled, and fell off within a few days of my rec. the orchid. One stayed green and healthy. I watered it according to the package and a week later, the last remaining bud fell off. Does this problem even have to do with watering? I'm so confused...! |
