Any Help Would Be Appreciated
 

Hi Guys

I am new to the forum so first let me say hi.

I am not sure what has happened to my new Orchid,

The plant was on my windowsill and the weather has been quite warm. After a day or two i moved it as i noticed the flowers were starting to go a darker yellow/brown and were beginning to shrivel.

I thought it could be sun burn so as previously mentioned i moved it out of the sun but this has gotten worse.

I have recently fed the plant using baby bio orchid feed, and wondered if this may have affected it.

Any Help would be appreciated guys

Regards

Simon

Hi Simon, welcome to the OrchidBoard!

Looks like sunburn and some continued effects from it -shrivelling, browning and drying.
If the feeding was involved, I think you would have seen some symptoms on the foliage as well.

Hopefully you will get a few more buds forming that will be unaffected.

It's possible that the blooms are just finished. Do you know how long it has been in bloom?

I would say sunburn too.It looks like it got quite a bit of sun there.

Thanks for your fast responses!

Im not sure how long it was in bloom as i bought it a couple of weeks back in bloom, so it could have been a few weeks in the shop.

It did get 2 days of direct light, my house is not the brightest and i moved it there to get a bit of the sun, but then i was away for a couple of days which coincided with some very hot sun here, the first proper sun of the year.

Definetly looks like to much sun.
