Why is my Phalaenopsis orchid dropping buds and flowers? Stop the bud blast

June 27, 2026 by PANG NAM FUI
Why is my Phalaenopsis orchid dropping buds and flowers? The spike hangs with yellowing, shrivelled, falling buds.

When my Phalaenopsis orchid started dropping its buds and flowers, I learned the loss is almost never a pest — it is bud blast, an environmental jolt. I show you how to read the cold draft, ethylene, humidity, and watering triggers, then steady each one so the remaining buds hold and open.

How to propagate a Phalaenopsis orchid from a keiki: a separated baby plantlet beside its new bark-filled clear pot.

How to fertilize a Phalaenopsis orchid without fertilizer burn — weakly, weekly

June 27, 2026 by PANG NAM FUI
How to fertilize a Phalaenopsis orchid without fertilizer burn: a white salt crust on the bark and a scorched leaf tip.

I feed my Phalaenopsis orchid weak and often — about a quarter of the label strength — so the bare, sponge-like velamen roots never meet a salt spike they cannot dilute. Inside: the wet-the-bark-first order I follow, the burn signs at the leaf tip, and the plain-water flush that stops the crust forming.
