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?

thanks for response. We water it once a week. and water it from the top
about three desert spoons.

it came in a ceramic pot that collects the water in the bottom below the
level of the plastic flower pot which sits inside the ceramic flower pot.
so i guess thats evaporating water up into the pot all the time.
