Dropped buds

[merrie58]

Hi, I am brand new to this site..don't even know if I'm posting this in the right place. I have Phalaenipsis that have all done well until this winter. They are all budding but are dropping their buds. I moved the plants into my bathroom which is warmer but in spite of having two full blooms I have 5 buds today that are yellowed and will probably fall off tomorrow. I have read in some articles that they need a fluctuation in temperature of 10 at night, but on one of the postings someone noted that a fluctuation in temperature causes bud dropping..I am very confused and frustrated. My second problem is that I have 2 Dendrobiums that were bought 2 years ago with flowers but have not flowered since. How do I get them to rebloom. thanks to all

I've quoted above what I believe to be the cause of your bud drop. Phals don't like changes in their conditions when they're in bud. It's quite common I think.
