Sick Phalaenopsis !!!

[alanholliday]

Please could i ask for some advice,

I have recieved an Orchid as a gift and have loved since the day i got it but recently it has dropped all its buds and the stems have turned yellow. The leaves are still a deep green colour so i understand that it is not dead.

Please can some one help me understand what to do next to keep my plant healthy and for it to flwer again if at all possible.

Thanks

Alan

How long have you had it? All plants will loose there flowers eventually. This could be the case. Where do you live? That would give people on here a clue as to its general care and feeding. since the leaves are green I would venture to say that the plant is not in immediate danger of dying. Have you checked the roots for rot? If the plant is potted in a fibrous material I would re-pot it in an orchid mix from your local nursery. The fibrous material is sphagnum moss and I find it very difficult to maintain the right level of moisture with it. The plant it self should have a good deal of light but little or no direct sun. With good care the plant will bloom again but most are seasonal bloomers so you might not get a blooming in the near future.
Welcome to the forum. Lots of good people and lots of very good advise.
