Psychopsis Mendenhall "Hildos" dropping flowers much sooner than before :(
I got this in bloom August 10th from Marlow's Orchids, I don't recall exactly how long the bloom lasted but it seemed like several weeks to maybe a month. Immediately after dropping the bloom it began to form a new bud. Once it opened it only lasted a couple of weeks. At the time, I attributed it to being too close to a cold window pane so I moved it back from the window several feet Again, it began developing a new bud. This bloom opened maybe a week ago and is already browning...I'm a little concerned about its overall health now...
I've heard that they can really sulk when repotted but I've also seen several members here do it without them missing a beat. It has a new growth (front right in pic) so I'm thinking this might be a good time to at least check out the roots to see what's going on under there...
Any suggestions or advice appreciated.
