How long has it been in bloom? Most phals will stay in bloom for about 3 months. The flowers may be dying because it’s time. With proper care you should get more blooms next year.

Is it in a draft? That can cause blooms to drop. There is a vent close to my growing space that has ruined some bloom shows.

If those aren’t that case, it could be due to plant health. Do you see any yellow, limp or wrinkled leaves? How do the roots look?

Also, if the spike is in contact with or close to a window (i.e. windowsill), mattering on how cold it is in your area, it can ruin younger buds and damage flowers

I think the flowers have had there time, they are ready to fall. Sadly the flowers don’t last forever which I wish they did! 😞

It has been I think around 3 months since I got it and it is starting to get into the cold but thank you all!
