The flowers of a Phalaenopsis can last up to four months, but at some point this time comes to an end and the flowers fall off. This is completely normal. There is only cause for concern if all the flowers wilt at the same time.
Why do Phalaenopsis flowers fall off prematurely?
Phalaenopsis flowers fall off if the plant feels uncomfortable, for example due to a change of location, watering errors, locations that are too cold or too sunny, waterlogging or drafts. If there is waterlogging, cut back rotten root parts in good time.
Why do the flowers fall off?
If all the flowers become limp at the same time or even fall off, then you can assume that your Phalaenopsis is not feeling well. The reasons for this can be varied and even contradictory. Maybe she got too much water or too little. Have you fertilized the plant regularly or moved it to another location?
Causes of premature flower drop:
- Change location after purchase or at home
- Pouring errors: pouring too much or too little
- too cold location
- too strong sunlight
- Waterlogging
- Draft
Tip
If the roots begin to rot due to waterlogging, then only careful and early pruning of the rotten root parts will help.
