It’s growing leaves but dropping blooms!
Hi! First time poster here and first time everything when it comes to orchids. My boyfriend bought me a beautiful orchid for Valentine’s Day and I’ve been working diligently to keep it alive and happy, following all the advice I’ve read on this forum including using a diluted 20-20-20 fertilizer. It held on to its blooms until just recently (late July) when it started to drop the blooms one by one. The weird thing is that at the same time it started growing a brand new leaf! I am assuming the plant is just going dormant but the leaf growing has me scratching my head. Any ideas as to what is going on? Should I just keep watering it? Should I try a different fertilizer? I’m totally fine with it just going dormant but just don’t know if something else is going on I should pay attention to. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
