Four-Year Phalaenopsis: Chronic Bud Drop Needs Repotting

Years of Buds Yellowing/Falling = Overdue Repot

If not repotted in 1–2 years: old mix stays too wet → root stress → bud abortion.

Other Causes

• Too dry air near buds.
• Temps <60°F.

Solution

Repot in fresh orchid mix. Step-by-step guidance available if needed.

Silvia, four years is a long run. Fresh roots = fresh buds.
