First Phalaenopsis in Florida: Bud Drop from Fruit Bowl, Fixed by Moving

New Phalaenopsis in SW Florida. Bud fell off—dry, brown. Others white/pink, healthy. You had it near fruit bowl, moved it after redecorating. Thanked for advice.

Ethylene from Ripening Fruit Kills Buds

Fruit bowl was the culprit. Moving it saved the remaining buds.

Repot After Bloom

Don't repot while in bud. Wait until flowers finish, then use fresh orchid mix.
