Phalaenopsis Bloom Wilt: Root Rot, Ethylene, or Drafts?

Premature Wilt = Stress

15 blooms → wilting in weeks. Clear pot shows some rot roots. Leaves drooping = dehydration despite watering (roots failing).

Move closer to SW window (higher latitude = lower intensity).

Unpot, check all roots. Trim rot. Repot fresh mix. Water when barely moist.
