Help-orchid dropping blooms and buds

17 years ago

This is my first attempt at orchids and I have one - lable reads P.LongPride Treasure. It is yellow with wine spots. I have had it one year and it has flowered twice before. It now has 24 buds or blooms on 2 different stems. I noticed today that one bloom had fallen off well before it should have and two buds as well. What could be causing this?

Hi Pattio, perhaps you will get a response to your question if you repost over on discussions. Could be? Perhaps include some info. on your growing conditions such as under lights, windowsill, aspect, temps and so on.
