Beginner needs some help with Wils.Tiger Brew

[flowersprg]

Hello,
New to the forum, I'm just becoming a lover of orchids, and I just got one of these beautiful Tiger Brew's from whole foods (just in case that's relevant). However the flowers are starting to die already, only one so far, and i'm wondering if I'm caring for it wrong. i know different orchids have different preferences for light and water, and i'm wondering what I should be doing for it. Can someone help me out here please? Thank yoU!
>>I also got a oncda. charlesworthii 'Mishima' and it seems to be doing just fine.

Welcome to Orchid Board

It may be that nothing is wrong, if all the flowers were open when you bought it then it may just be time for them to finish.

A picture might help know how it's doing. You can find help on how to post pictures here.

Welcome to the Orchid Board. You have joined the right group lots of helpful people here. Are any of the orchids potted in spag ?,that's usually the problem. Can you give us more information. Where are you keeping them, how much light, pics, etc.

this might be a LOT too late a response to this but i have found that when you buy those store orchids to be VERY careful transporting them home. this is because sometimes the pollen caps fall off the blooms very easily and they die soon after. so next time you buy orchids, dont just look over the plants, make sure the pollen caps are intact and that theyre white because sometimes the pollen beneath is beginning to rot and it will have 2 small greyishbrown-black spots, one on either side of the cap meaning the flowers will be gone soon
