Default tissue paper orchid buds.

We bought a orchid from a supermarket about a week ago. Some new buds are
going very 'soft and tissue papery' and dropping off.

Is this not enough water, or too much or something else do you think?
Thanks for any advice.


How often do you water it? Do you let it drain and dry out in between
waterings? Do you water it from the bottom or from the top?
