about phal Nobby's Little Candy

[vyltan]

Hello all. This is an old cross but has sentimental value for me. I have a small plant 8 inches leafspan that just flowered but flowers lasted only 2-3 weeks. Other phals in same environnement last much longer. Is it normal for the cross?

[Bud]

2 to 3 weeks for a Phalaenopsis hybrid is normal. There are others who can last their bloom for 2 months but it has to be in an ideal environment given the right temperature, humidity and airflow; there are hybrids created for longer lasting blooms for florists and flower shops as cut flower and center piece displays

The blooms probably dropped due to a draft or an environmental change.
