My orchid has been steadily dropping flowers on the left side since I watered it a few days ago. Looks like four of them are about to drop. I’ve been watering when the roots turn silverish and I know it has enough light. The roots look healthy. Is this normal? Or is there something wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    based on what you shared and what i can see in the picture, this looks normal! my moth orchids will eventually drop their flowers and bloom again when they’re ready :) sounds like you’re doing a good job taking care of it! it’s so pretty

      Oh good. Thank you! I’ve read some conflicting info about how to get it to bloom again, and about care during the winter. What do you suggest?

      depending on where you live, you’ll probably have to water less in the winter! and you probably won’t have to repot for a while, they seem to like being more root-bound in my experience. when you do, a really chunky and barky kind of soil is best :)

    Yeah they probably reached the end of their life cycle if everything else is good with the roots and watering ✨🧡
