Why haven't the buds of orchids bloomed and withered yet?

The buds of orchids wither before flowering, which may be due to insufficient nutrition, water shortage, water in the buds or insect erosion. In order to avoid this phenomenon, we can apply phosphorus and potassium-based flower fertilizer in time before flowering, be careful not to spill it into the bud when watering, and use fresh cucumber slices to trap and kill pests when they are found.

Why do the buds of orchids wither before flowering 1 and lack nutrients?

Orchids need a lot of nutrients at flowering stage. The more nutrients, the more buds and flowers, and the lack of nutrients will cause buds to wither. Therefore, it is necessary to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to plants before flowering.

2. Lack of moisture

When orchids have flower buds, the pot soil should maintain a high humidity for a long time. Too dry is not conducive to the formation of carbohydrates, resulting in lack of nutrition and water in flower buds, difficulty in flowering, and even plant withering.

3. Water enters the bud

When watering the orchid, don't spill water on the bud's clothes. If water enters the bud and is not dried in time, it will cause the bud to wither. Therefore, when water enters the bud, it should be dried with a low-grade hair dryer in time, or put the orchid in a cool and ventilated place.

4. Pest erosion

If the flower buds of orchids are eaten by pests, they will be damaged and shrunk. Therefore, after the pests are found, tetraacetaldehyde or fresh cucumber slices should be put into the pot in time to trap and kill them.
