I recently got an orchid and all of it's flowers are wilting. The night i got it (i got two orchids) i cross pollinated them, i placed a pollinia from each flower onto the stamen of the opposite flower. ONLY the petals that were pollinated are wilting. is this what happens when the pollen reaches the "ovaries" of the orchid? or am i caring for it incorrectly? it is a phalaenopsis by the way. someone help.
My orchid is wilting! Am i killing it?
You pollinated them! Duh! Now that they have been pollinated there is no more reason for the orchid to sustain the flower. It will let it die but it will leave a pod to release the microscopic seeds. The orchid itself is still very alive.
Reply:orchids are tricky that way i got some thought i killed them , turns out it was just the change in environment from the store to my house. and that they will grow back . but i found this out after i threw them away. so i have to get some more. give it some time and see what happens i would say.
