Phal losing flowerbud
I bought a flowering phalaenopsis more than a week ago. When I first take it home, its leaves were firm and large, and some aerial roots in silver color, although they are somewhat thin and without green tips. Some new roots even have black tip. I don't know what that mean.
It's in a plastic container that has drain at the bottom. I watered it once took it home. Watered again a few days later until the roots i can see all turned silver. But at that time the leaves already became a bit soft. I guess I should have watered it sooner. What is the best frequency to water it exactly? (I live in hot dry New Mexico)
Today, I saw that some roots inside of the pot turned yellow, and flower pods look wrinkled and dry. It's heartbreaking. What can I do?
