Orchids need serious care.
If you make mistakes when growing these flowers, they can very quickly stop pleasing you with their appearance or even die.
If the leaves of this fragile plant turn yellow, then most likely there has been no watering for a long time.
How to water orchids
It is better to do this by immersing the pot in water for 15 minutes. During this time, the roots will have time to absorb the required amount of water.
All excess liquid should drain completely through the drainage holes.
Why do orchid buds fall off?
The problem is usually due to improper care:
- lack of light;
- poor watering;
- dry air or drafts;
- the appearance of pests and diseases.
In addition, as experienced flower growers note, there is another reason, but not all amateurs know about it. The fact is that the buds can fall off if there are fruits or vegetables that emit ethylene next to the flowerpot. For example, these can be apples, bananas, tomatoes, etc.
If you want to have beautiful and healthy flowers, it is important to remember simple care methods, as well as periodically check the plants for pests and diseases.
