Novice orchid\ngrowers are often surprised to discover that, despite following the\ninstructions for caring for their plant, the orchid’s flowers begin to wilt and\nfall off. In most cases, this is a normal part of the life cycle of\nPhalaenopsis orchids and other species. Falling flowers simply indicates\nthat your orchid has reached the end of its flowering cycle and is now storing\nenergy to flower again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conclusion\nis that orchids are not difficult plants, they are simply different, something\nthat does not take into account many people at the time of knowing how to make\norchids bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To begin with,\nmost orchids are epiphytes, that is, they grow on the surface of tree branches\nor rocks. Its thick and strong roots have adapted to anchor to the bark or\nstone and are accustomed to the routine of getting wet and dry quickly in\ntropical forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They need air\nand space around them, so they rot in a pot with a normal substrate. In\nfact, roots are the key to growing healthy plants and getting orchids to bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following these\nbasic instructions for care you will see that your orchid has the strength to\nflourish year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the first\nplace and before taking hasty measures, it is necessary to know what happens, what\ncan be the cause that causes such fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We must remember\nthat if the closure of the flowers obeys natural causes (the period of 7 or 8\nweeks has already passed) it is a completely normal process. We can know\nthat this is the cause (apart from time already elapsed) because the flowers\nbegin to wither in the order of greatest antiquity. Thus the first to do\nso will be the first to flourish on the staff (usually the ones below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However,\nsometimes the loss of flowering may be indicative of a greater problem in the\nhealth of your orchid. How can you differentiate between the natural\nloss of flowering and something more worrisome? <\/strong>We will answer your\nquestion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is Normal?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The natural\ncycle of orchid flowering is a flowering peak in late fall or early winter,\nthen bloom in early spring. Some orchids will bloom for several months\nbefore the flowers wilt and fall. Another aspect\nto consider when we close the flowers of a stick is if the stick remains green\nor is taking a light brown. Sometimes an orchid can decide for reasons\nsuch as lack of water or excess of this, sacrifice all the floral rod so that\nall the flowers will fall quickly when the sap does not arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is not normal:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If the buds of your orchid suddenly fall off before they bloom, it is likely that your plant is suffering from an explosion of buds. This is probably preceded by the fact that the buds dry out and become brittle or softer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A similar reaction can happen to your orchid after it has already blossomed. In this case, the flowers will dry out prematurely and will fall almost at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s see now the causes that can cause both the drying of a stick, and the precipitous fall of buds or flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When people ask\nthemselves how to make orchids bloom, no one thinks that they are being watered\ntoo much. Over-watering is the number one cause of death for orchids<\/strong> . When\nan orchid blooms, it’s like a new pet, you give it a lot of attention. But\nonce the flowers fade, you begin to forget about the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, one day,\nyou notice a leaf looks uglier or a root in the air turns brown. To make\nit even worse, you start watering several times a week, instead of just\nonce. A leaf falls, the roots look worse and worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The orchid is\nnot thirsty, it is drowning, but it seems to be drying up. Before you knew\nit, you have a pot with muddy earth and a dying orchid. Do not let this\nhappen to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to\nmake orchids bloom year after year, give your orchid the proper care while it\nis in bloom and out of bloom.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After your\norchid finishes blooming it is the best time to cut the flower stick. This\nis located near the base of the plant. An orchid needs to rest after<\/p>\n\n\n\n flourish to\naccumulate energy for the next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Common causes of\nflower closure and fall:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What can we do to keep the flowers from falling?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The explosion of\nbuds or flowers is almost always caused by a traumatic change in the\nenvironment where you have your orchid. This may be due to a sudden change\nin temperature, humidity or inadequate hydration. Verify that your orchid\nis not close to a current of air such as an air conditioner that starts up\nduring the summer. Watch also the irrigation as we will see now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another cause of\nthe outbreak explosion could be the proximity of your orchid to the fruit that\nemits ethylene gas as it matures, so avoid placing your orchid near a fruit\nbowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The outbreak\nexplosion does not have to be a death sentence for your orchid. By\ntreating the cause of the problem and creating a healthier environment for your\norchids, you will be enjoying new buds and blooms in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this article we will see the most important keys to know how to make orchids bloom and the reasons why the orchid flowers fall.
