Orchid Close Up
We must remember that if the closure of the flowers obeys natural causes. For example, that the period of 7 or 8 weeks has already passed. Therefore, it is a completely normal process. We can know that this is the cause (apart from time already elapsed) because the flowers begin to wither in the order of greatest antiquity. Thus, the first to do so will be the first to flourish on the staff (usually the ones below).
Flower closed due to natural causes:
Flower closed. In this photo we observe how a flower of a Phalaenopsis has begun to close. It is the oldest of the rod and that assumes that it follows its normal course.
Another aspect to consider when we close the flowers of a stick is if the stick remains green or is taking a light brown. Sometimes an orchid can decide for reasons such as lack of water or excess of this, sacrifice all the floral rod so that all the flowers will fall quickly when the sap does not arrive.
A common situation that causes an orchid close up, is the pollination process that is being undertaken by an insect. In such scenario, the orchid will close.
I am Don Burke, one of the authors at My Garden Guide. I am a horticulturist that cultivates, grows, and cares for plants, ranging from shrubs and fruits to flowers. I do it in my own garden and in my nursery. I show you how to take care of your garden and how to perform garden landscaping in an easy way, step by step.I am originally from Sydney and I wrote in local magazines. Later on, I have decided, more than two decades ago, to create my own blog. My area of specialization is related to orchid care, succulent care, and the study of the substrate and the soil. Therefore, you will see many articles dedicated to these disciplines. I also provide advice about how to improve the landscape design of your garden.
