What to Do When Phalaenopsis Bud Wilts BeforeBlooming
If a Phalaenopsis bud wilts before it opens, move it to a semi-shaded environment, preventing the bud from being exposed to direct sunlight. Then, water the plant to keep the potting mix moist, allowing the plant to gradually recover. If the bud continues to wilt, dig up the Phalaenopsis and replant it in loose, fertile sandy soil.
1. -- Change Environment --
When the Phalaenopsis bud wilts before fully blooming, move it immediately to a well-ventilated semi-shaded area to prevent direct sunlight on the bud. Then, cut off the completely wilted bud to allow nutrients to focus on the healthy ones.
2. -- Replenish Water --
After moving the Phalaenopsis, observe the soil surface. When the soil looks whitish and has coarse particles, use a spray bottle to slowly add water along the pot edges. Stop when the soil surface turns deep brown.
3. -- Replant --
When the Phalaenopsis bud wilts severely, dig up the plant with the soil, wash the roots clean, and use a sterilized pair of scissors to cut off the rotten and decayed roots at the base, ensuring the plant is in a healthy growing condition, then replant it in sandy soil.
4. -- Care During Flowering Period --
Phalaenopsis prefers a warm growing environment. During the flowering period, use temperature control equipment to keep the room temperature between 15-28 degrees Celsius to avoid difficulty in adapting due to low or high temperatures, which could lead to bud wilting and falling.
