May the fading blooms on a healthy Phalaenopsis orchid plant be removed 1 by 1, or not until all have faded?

mmm, the blooms should just fall off one by one until all you are left is the "branch" which they grew on the orchid. you should have the branch cut, but leave 2-3 buds on that branch. usually there are a few buds closer to the plant on the "branch" and the plant will send more blooms from the buds there, if it feels like. the branch can be trimmed when it becomes yellow and brittle, signifying the plant has recovered all of it's nutrients from it, so then you can safely cut the "branch off.

sure, just pull the bloom toward the plant, and if it is ready, it should just pop off cleanly, if not, leave it for a couple more days, yeah, even if it does seem that the bloom is spoiling the prefectness, the plant won't let blooms drop untill it's reclaimed most of the nutrients from it.

Reply:thats' why it's best to leave the blooms on untill they fall off naturally, since a healthy plant will create blooms forever, but a sickly plant will bloom for only so long. Report It
