Flowers on Orchid Phalaenopsis are dropping (stems are yellow)?

Hi,





I purchased a gorgeous ORchid Phalaenopsis flower from Lowes about a month ago. It has 8 flowers on it, but I am noticing now that four of the flowers are starting to wilt. Also I noticed that the stem that the wilting flowers are attached to (not the spike but the individual flower stems) are turning from a healthy green to like a yellow.





Is this just the normal part of the flowering cycle or is something wrong with my plant? The leaves and the roots look healthy. The leaves are stiff and the roots are green (most of them).

Normal. But to get to flower again ,it depends where You live. They are a problem to grow. Its either too much water or not enough. Also lite must be diffused. Then when they flower , fungus , black spot on flowers. All ? like this has to tell where they live!!!
Reply:Perfectly normal. Even though phal bloom is long-lasting, eventually they will fade.





See source for info on growing phals in your home.
Reply:Orchids should be misted on the leaves and not watered at bottom.Is it in a draught free area?Or perhaps it needs some sort of fertiliser.I would check with the supplier or a garden center.
