Personally, on my phal. I use a spray bottle. This way I can be sure to give it the maximum amnt of absorbable water to the roots without letting any stand or cause rot. It also helps the over zealous grower have something to constantly do that won't kill the plant with love : ))
...It could just be shock tho... (Orchids are like the slowest dieing flower/plant that I have ever seen! Even a cactus or succulent will shrivel way before these!) Maybe it didn't like the transition from the shop to ur house and it's just readapting.
I know that this thread was about sad flowers that got happy, but I want ur guys to always be happy! Srry for giving you advice that you didn't ask for... |
Listen young buck, the plant in question has been in my possession for almost 2 months, how long it been in bloom before I got it is anyone’s guess, the possibility of shock had ended long ago, it had already adapted to its new environment before this happened, now my milt which did go in shock just days of getting it is understandable which many plants go through when brought in to a new environment. Now you made use if the word they, now I did already mention all my plants that went through this which is 2, I have 19 plants, 2 which have been in bloom for over 2 months and both have new growth and ready to bloom all over again, even though the old blooms are still alive and doing great, another plant with a new spike, 4 plants that are growing new leafs, in general my plants are quite healthy and doing fine, you obviously do not know what your talking about.
Also these plants do not stand in water at all, the medium I use for growing allows rapid drainage of water, it gets wet, not soaked, I monitor these plants everyday, they get slightly damp, but I do not let them dry out.
I have no problem taking good advice, as long as its good advice, my technique is fine, just needs fine tuning.
