Question about light requirements for blooms.

11 years ago

I know that part of keeping an Orchid healthy is plenty of bright filtered light.

If I were to keep a blooming Phal in a dark room (such as an internal room or hallway) would the blooms generally last longer than a Phal in a bright sunny room?

I know that when keeping cut flower arrangements (not orchids) in a poorly lit area, they tend to last 2-3 times as long as an arrangement in one of my sunnier rooms. What I am wondering is, would the same be true for an actual plant such as an orchid? Or would the lack of light cause the blooms to drop prematurely?

Thanks!
