"I bloomed, blossomed, and suddenly disappeared." Why Phalaenopsis is dying in the house?
Hello!
Often read questions and stories growers as a blueprint:
- "From my orchid everything was fine. It blossomed even gave a couple of kids, and then disappeared in the past month. I decided to dig. Here's what's left - Rotten / dry roots, as it is now to be "?
- "I almost did not take care of the flower, just like watering dries, blooming like crazy"
- And classics of the genre. This comment appears necessary under the guidelines for the cultivation of Phalaenopsis at home: "Nothing of the sort! I have 2 years growing in plain earth with garden and blooms! Write nonsense. "
Let's see why.
there are 2 main nuances:

- But. Tenacious it for the time being. And bloom - not an indicator of health.
With proper care of Phalaenopsis does not age and can develop successfully for decades. Why is it blooms, but is destroyed?
Not every owner of an orchid creates her normal conditions. It does not care about the soil moisture capacity and watering schedule and not by drying. Some even believe that stress in the form of a blackout or lack of watering a couple of weeks is beneficial, but the purchase ground "for orchids" Phalaenopsis suitable.
Incidentally, the drying and "dark" for orchids really stimulates flowering. Why? Because phalaenopsis thinks "I come to an end." And strive as soon as possible to continue his race, throwing spike seed maturation or even giving baby. Working? Yes. It is much easier to torment flower than to create the right conditions houseplants. But how many flower stand such stresses from demanding owner?
Principle can work for a long time, and when grown in poor conditions. Phalaenopsis are very tenacious and try to survive for a long time. Even when the root is almost gone. Remember: In fact, persistent and abundant flowering, as well as the appearance of children, can be actively running mechanism of procreation plants in a critical life situation.
Whether to use viability Phalaenopsis or get a true friend for many years - the choice is yours.
