A bud gone red
All,
I'm a newbie to caring for orchids, and recently acquired my first
Phal Brother Saragold Orchid plant (a week back).
The plant came with one flower and 4 buds waiting to flower.
The larger of the 4 buds opened up immediately, that was very
rewarding.
However, the other buds haven't opened yet. They have changed their
colours slightly:
1 bud is still large and waiting to blossom.
2nd bud (medium size) has not blossomed and has a slight darkish
colour on it
3rd and smallest bud has turned reddish-orange.
I have only watered this plant once until now - and that was without
orchid food. I am currently keeping it over a glass of water to keep
it humidified.
Can you tell me if I need to do something to take care of this plant -
is it sick or doing fine?
Thank you all so much
Saket
