Why do orchids, fall flowers and buds

Why do orchids, fall flowers and buds?

This is a very common problem among Orchid lovers. The reason can be:

  • stress,
  • sharp change of conditions of detention (e.g., moving),
  • inadequate lighting,
  • overheating or overcooling, i.e. too hot or too cold
  • drafts,
  • wrong watering,
  • low humidity.



 

Properly selected lighting is key to the success of growing all types of orchids, and if its not enough, the Orchid can dry not only flowers and buds, but and start to fade completely. Dark generally is a significant obstacle in the process of growing and in terms of flowering orchids in particular. Therefore, you should rearrange the orchids in a more lit place or to provide additional illumination (e.g., for the period from November to March) fluorescent lamps.

To avoid overheating (in summer) of direct sunlight, which can be instances of burning flowers and buds (they are wilting and desiccation), but also the leaves. In the pot, the roots cease to absorb essential for normal functioning of Orchid moisture and dehydration. A jet of hot air coming from heating systems can dry up not only the flowers themselves but are not yet blooming buds.

Too dry air triggers dry remains of soft tissues of flowers are not yet blooming buds, so in any case should not be lower the humidity of the air surrounding the orchids.



 

With insufficient watering the Orchid too dry regularly.When excess — contains too wet. Incorrect watering may damage the root system, which can either start to rot or start to dry.

Hypothermia may occur due to improperly selected temperature mode or when transporting plants in winter from the store. When ventilating the room (especially in winter) take care that the orchids do not stand in the way of cold air, it could lead to hypothermia not only flowers and buds, but plants in General.

And of course, the natural aging process. The total duration of flowering of orchids depends on the species, its status, total number of flowers, of the conditions of her detention. Some normal blooms only 7-10 days, for others 3 months or more. When purchasing a new Orchid with a fully blooming spike, you are unlikely to know exactly how long she had been in bloom,so the sudden blossom probably refers to the end of their life, rather than caused by any other factor.

To pollinate the Orchid wasps, bees, flies, etc. If the pollination was successful, then in the withering of the flower over time, will be the seed box, but if not, the flower will wither and fall off.



 

Orchid is undesirable to put them near apples, bananas, tomatoes and even nuts, as some foods emit ethylene, which promotes rapid obsolescence neraspavshemsya flowers and buds.published
