I rec’d an orchid as a gift several years back and it bloomed beautiful purple flowers for the first couple years. However, the last few years, it seems to be struggling.
It grows and grows and starts new shoots off the old ones, but the flower buds shrivel up and fall off. Eventually, the new shoots partially shrivel up and well.
I let the moss dry out and then water. It’s in a South facing window that never gets direct sunlight, but gets plenty of indirect light.
The excess water is allowed to filter through.
I’ve used an orchid fertilizer in the past, but haven’t recently as it didn’t seem to be improving the blooming problems.
Some of the roots are coming up out of the moss.
I hope that this provides enough info that someone can help! I *will* choose a best answer, and appreciate any “stars” and good answers that I get!
Thank you in advance!
