Orchid drying up!
Hello!
I got an orchid as a present from my boyfriend. The plant travelled in a box and arrived fine. It had some bloomed flowers and some nice buds ready to bloom at the right time. I had it in my room (probably a bit too work and not too humid). As I received it I put some water in it and drained the excess water after (I thought it needed water after the trip). Some days later, some of the buds started to dry out and fall. Now, most of them are dried and about to fall of the plant. I kept putting water but a friend told me to stop putting water in it and to make sure there was a right humidity in my room. I read orchids need 50-70% humidity - my room is probably a bit too dry then. Then I realised it may not be getting enough light (I live in Scotland and probably theres not enough sunshine coming through the window). I then moved it to the kitchen, however, I dont know how to reanimate the dry buds. What would you recommend? Did this happen to any of you before?
