I had the most beautiful blooms on several spikes on my phal last year. I moved it to a focal point in my kitchen and it immediately started to blast. I couldn’t figure out the problem. Long story short, I had a bowl of lemons and oranges right beside (they looked so nice together) them. One of those fruits was going bad and I firmly believe it recked my entire phal display.
Really good explanation . Light and temperature. My two reasons why... When I am doing night shift the windows stays covered for longer. And when I am doing day shift- I use to leave them open...Great video. Now I know the reason why.
My orchid got bud blast when I followed the packaging instructions and watered my little orchid with 1 ice cube a week. After the 2nd week all buds, and most of the flowers fell off. That's when I got on TH-cam and MissOrchidGirl taught me how to water my plant. Thank you!
I can testify to the fruit impact. I kept orchids next to my fruit bowl (apples, bananas, citrus) and they lost buds. I moved them and they got better. ;)
I recently got an Orchid as a gift and had it next to a banana basket on the kitchen counter. I started noticing that its new bud at the top started getting dried and falling off. That was the reason I look for some tips and came across your video. I changed the banana basket. Hope it resolves the problem and the remaining bud blooms.
So my lovely Phal had finished flowering and A New Branch with buds developed! All going well, then I purchased some lemons and they were on the table within 12" of the new bud. a few days later I took another look at the bud which had been developing beautifully, it had stopped growing and was drying out! No other changes had occurred but the lemons. Thank goodness I saw the comment below. Looks like more may be on the way. Lemons now removed so I hope that more will develop, Lesson learned.
I just want to say thank you so much for your educational videos. they have helped me so much along the way with my orchid journey. I just encountered this problem with Bud blast on one of my Cattleya it completely explains my situation I live in the United States and we are in our winter months now . You've definitely earned the title The Orchid Whisperer!!! Denny. God bless you.
Hello, I bought my orchid with beautiful blooms, and I placed it near a window. The plant was doing great, then suddenly the flowers started to fall. So, I became curious as to what might be happening, and that led me to your channel. After listening to your video, I realized that I had some tomatoes that were rotting sitting on the counter next to the plant. I believe that is the reason my orchid bloom withered.
Hello Danny! Happy new year, I have been watching you since 2014 and before 10 days I purched a mini phal with many closed buds but the most of them dried out and fall but this girl is producing more buds. Unfortunately I had it next to fruits and even new buds dried out. Thanks for you educational videos!
Hello! I got my first phalaenopsis orchid the day before valentine's and I've been watching so many of your videos to learn about it! I'm here on this one because I have a few buds blasting. I purchased it from a nursery in a greenhouse type environment. It's currently on the dining room table by the west facing window door to the deck because that spot gets the most light. (Second best is next to an east facing window but even sitting on the side of the couch at that window feels colder than the other side of the couch away from that window.) We open and close the door regularly to let the dog out and it's currently winter in Maryland so it's cold out. I did repot and fertilize it at partial strength about 5 days ago but at that point I did already have one bud blasting, now I have more. It had some weird spongey material at the center of the medium it came in, and a decent amount of squishy and ripped roots, so I do believe repotting it was best. It did have a handful of buds begin to open as well though but none have fully opened. Is my orchid doomed? What should I do?
I use an essential oil nebulizer at home and I have no idea that they do make the flowers fall and have bud blast until now. So I am moving my orchids to some place without being exposed to it
I have a gas heater and a gas stove. Which could be the reason why my phalaenopsis orchid suffered from bud blasts. That, and there was a shift in temperature and humidity. Sometimes it's too hot and sometimes it's too cold. I also have some spiders hiding in the soil and I don't think that I give her enough indirect sunlight.
Not necessarily orchids but some plants in Western Australia, only flower after a bush/wild fire has gone through and ethylene gas has been released into the atmosphere... it was mentioned by Sir David Attenborough in Private Life of Plants as well.
Someone help me pleasee 🙏🏼. I’ve been researching online but I can’t find anything and I don’t know what to do. My orquid flowers and buds are dry BUT they are not falling off. Everyone talks about what to do when they fall of but it’s been months and they are still attached to the orquid but completely dry
Hi Danni, this is my first comment. I've been watching several of your videos for the past few weeks, when I bought my first Phalae! I am from Sydney so it is autumn here now, and cooling down after a warm summer. When I bought my little white Phalae with two stalks in a pot, it was healthy with 8 or 9 buds (4-5 per stalk) and in a glass pot. The roots and potting mix looked ok. It was end of summer and I put it in my lounge with some light (not direct) and mild temps. The florist showed me how to water it (very little water in a spray bottle twice a week).... Unfortunately 2 weeks ago, there was a cold snap in Sydney and I think it caused bud blast. I noticed overnight that 4 of the buds turned yellow and they subsequently dropped. I got stressed about it and wondered if I should repot it, water less, water more etc but then I moved it to my room. Since then I have had one remaining bud bloom, another bud with bud blast, but so far it's ok. There are still 3 remaining unbloomed buds that look ok (I think!). As it's coming to winter in Sydney, I might wait till Spring to buy more orchids. I bought the phalae as I thought it's be easier to take care of for a beginner. I live in an apartment and we don't have central heating so it will get colder. I'm still trying to figure out which room is the best for the orchid. My apartment faces north and all the windows are in the west so I get the afternoon sun (though it's not very hot as it's now autumn). I don't have the orchid under the sun but near the window sill where the sunlight is filtered by the blinds. Right now it sits in my bedroom - I can't open the curtains in my lounge when I'm not home as it's on ground level and could make it easier for people to climb over the balcony and enter the apartment. The room window sits quite high so I sit the orchid near the window with the curtains drawn but another blind to filter the sunlight. By the way I do find your videos very helpful. I'm keen to repot the phale later when it's finished blooming. I would like to eventually buy more orchids and other types. In the meantime, I enjoy listening to your lovely voice and explanation about orchids and viewing your gorgeous collection! Thanks :)
I grow my phalaenopsis under artificial light in a temperature controlled room (24°C). I water regularly and the roots look fine. Why are my buds dropping.
Thank you for answering my and others comments. I will improve my environment conditions because cold window and dry air might have been some of the causes
Hi danny I moved last july, and plants responded super well to the new home (much more light in summer, but less humidity). This winter on the contrary it was a disaster, very short days but humidity remained unchainged. All my plants aborted buds, even cattleyas, I recently got a ultrasound humidifier but no led light for the moment. It was so frustrating, expecially for one phal (my very first one, which skipped blooming last year). Do you think it il light?
This happened to me yesterday :( still didnt get answers lol maybe just environment. If it is environment, what do we do to help it? Is bud blast reversible?
My new spike has several buds and I'm so excited! But sadly, the blooms surrounding the new buds are brown. They are dry brown blooms. Is this a lack of water? Thank you. I love your channel.
Hi there Danni. Just want some information on or hids. Last year I purchased a Dendrobuim Kinganuim at a orchid show. Can you please tell what the best orchid mixture for this tiny Australian rock orchid. It hasn't yet flowered for me yet as it is a bit too small. When it is March, it will be our Autumn as I am in New Zealand. Can you please tell me more about this orchid. Kirsty.
+MissOrchidGirl. Hi Danny thank you so much for this video!! I purchased two mini Phalaenopsis Orchids a few weeks ago making sure they had more buds then flowers and because of temperature fluctuations and stress, unfortunately they ended up with bud blast/bud fall. Also the orchid mix dried out too fast because I guess I made too many holes on the sides of the pots. I ended up placing both pots with the holes into two glass jars in hopes of the mix drying out less but getting enough air so as not to rot the roots, and on top of a humidity tray. Now just monitoring the flowers stalks and leaves, hope it works.😳
I have an orchid that 2 years in a row, formed a spike but as the buds start forming they begin to weep a sticky substance and soon withers and dies. What is this?
I think one of mine overproducing. My mini has a single stalk with the branches and a total of nineteen buds. The biggest ones are starting to blast. 😞
I just rescued an orchid from a supermarket basement floor where it was not getting the light and warmth it needed. Unfortunately all of the remaining buds dropped before opening so I think I was a bit late. Hopefully it will come back stronger next year ☺️
I recently purchased a cat. Hsin Buu Lady, after producing 3 flower spike, one has blasted. Do I cut that blasted spike? The other two spike are okay for now. I repotted it which likely stressed it. Thank you.
So my mini phalaenopsis orchid came in a square wooden box/pot in one corner and there are three succulents in the other three corners of the pot. So there’s no ventilation or airflow at all. I want to repot it into a proper orchid safe pot and so that it doesn’t share with succulents. However it is in bloom so that’s unfortunate
Hi! Please advise! i bought an orchid about 3 weeks ago and it had most of the flowers open and had about 6 buds left, well all the buds opened BUT now 4 flowers have closed/wilted.....did i kill it? Its in sphagnum moss and i have watered it once since its water retentive and i dont want to rot the roots... and i havent checked them since i dont want to shock the plant and lose flowers....buuut....HELP! LOL
Hi all! I have a question I am still having trouble finding answers to: I purchased my wife 2 orchids about 4 weeks ago. They both got transplanted a week into having them (new pots, new Orchid soil, trimming and pruning the dead and nappy roots + fertilizer, etc). 3 weeks later and I have noticed the flowers on one of them closest to the crown are starting to die one-by-one. I have read this is normal but IS IT? Are the buds dying because they are experiencing bud blast or are they dying because it's part of their life cycle and it's beginning to enter dormancy? This is my very first orchid so I am having a little trouble understanding what's going on. Only one of them is experiencing this and I'm not sure how long the buds were in bloom before purchasing them (also making it difficult to know if it's the end of it's life cycle or bud blast). How long after a change in environment will it take for an orchid to show they aren't happy with this? For four weeks they have been in the same environment and nothing has changed. I figured like most plants it's pretty immediate but 3+ weeks seems a little long. The only difference is they were transplanted out of their previously poor-soil container a little less than week into having them home (I bought 2 of them that were smashed into the same tiny, tiny pot). All of the flowers were in bloom at the time of transplant (unlikely I know but it was a MUST) and they were big, beautiful and very healthy flowers. Any information or thoughts are welcome. Thank you!
I have an oil burner, and I experienced bud drop in my phals when I vaporized lavender oil near them. I think it has some components that act similarly to ethylene. I only lost maybe 3 buds until I figured out what it was, so it wasn't very severe.
Hey! I’ve got two dendrobium plants but they haven’t bloomed or flowered in about 3 months now. No buds or stems. What am i suppose to do? I’ve hung them outdoors in high sun exposure
2 of my orchids grew bloom stems, then nothing... its been weeks and no buds. the stems and roots are healthy, This has never happened before. Do you know why?
My new Andrea West had about 30 buds in about 6 stalks. Some opened10 but died within a week the rest dried up. What happened? I only had the orchid 3 weeks😥
Hi Danny, love your videos, very informative and unique. I watched a lot of them, learned a lot but I have a question regarding the stem. When should it be cut, how do you know if it's rotting at the bottom (on phalaenopsis)? Thanks 😘
Hi, am a complete beginner, I have just purchased 2 mini orchid phal plants, but they haven't come in transparent pots, but in China pots and I can't see anything unless I remove top miss and dig under the bark. It is cowering, but I'm starting to lose some buds. Can you tell me what to do, I don't really want to try and repot unless I have to. I love these plants so much, please help me!!
I thought I was getting bud blast but I think one just fell off because of the water I sprayed for humidity. It didn't turn brown or anything just fell off. No other changes. :/
If it’s a phal you should only go up one pot size and they love their roots to be exposed.. also use the orchid potting mix.... at least this is what I did when I was a florist
Hi, underwatering can cause dehydration, thus stress, so yes it can definitely lead to bud loss. Overwatering is too vague and we don't know what it could mean, so let's say this: if roots are suffocated and rot, the orchid won't be able to absorb water anymore, which causes dehydration, thus stress, and that can totally lead to bud loss ☺️
I am having bud blasts which I think is contributed by ants. When my orchids start to bud I get a surge of large black ants and tiny red ones that seem to take over my orchids. Lasy yr I had more bud blasts than blooms. Can ant spray be used on orchid plants in bud? @missorchidgirl
@@MissOrchidGirl thks never thought of that, now someone also suggested my orchids have thrips. She suggested spraying them with Malathion, is that good on orchids? My phal Harlequinn has blasted all the buds and the orchids that open don't stay for a long time and petals have abnormalities on them, your thoughts?
I bought my boss a miniature phal for Christmas and it of course blasted every single bud but one. I can't wait to go to work and tell her we can blame the dog farts (we're dog groomers if my name doesn't make it obvious lol) instead of the winter transport hahaha!
I had the most beautiful blooms on several spikes on my phal last year. I moved it to a focal point in my kitchen and it immediately started to blast. I couldn’t figure out the problem. Long story short, I had a bowl of lemons and oranges right beside (they looked so nice together) them. One of those fruits was going bad and I firmly believe it recked my entire phal display.
Thank you! I'm sad to see my buds fall, but now I can try to care for them better.
Really good explanation . Light and temperature. My two reasons why...
When I am doing night shift the windows stays covered for longer. And when I am doing day shift- I use to leave them open...Great video. Now I know the reason why.

Anda Clarke Same here, just one mango next to a very healthy orchid. Lost 3 buds!!!
a trick : you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Leighton Alberto yea, have been watching on Flixzone} for months myself =)
@Leighton Alberto Definitely, I have been using flixzone} for months myself =)
@Leighton Alberto definitely, I have been using Flixzone} for years myself =)

What’s the name of your orchid with the orange flower?
What do you recommend doing with the dying bud? Do you leave and let it fall naturally, or do you remove it?

Hey Miss Orchid Girl! Sending you good wishes and peace from New Zealand 🇳🇿 thank you so much for all your help and advice ☺️
I use an essential oil nebulizer at home and I have no idea that they do make the flowers fall and have bud blast until now. So I am moving my orchids to some place without being exposed to it
does anyone know why there's purple goo inside of orchid flowers? like the centre of the flower part.
I have a gas heater and a gas stove. Which could be the reason why my phalaenopsis orchid suffered from bud blasts. That, and there was a shift in temperature and humidity. Sometimes it's too hot and sometimes it's too cold. I also have some spiders hiding in the soil and I don't think that I give her enough indirect sunlight.
Hlow ma'am how can cure the bud blast of orchids or what the best to do..
Thanks
You are reading my mind!!! You enlighten us so accurately!!! Thank you!
Not necessarily orchids but some plants in Western Australia, only flower after a bush/wild fire has gone through and ethylene gas has been released into the atmosphere... it was mentioned by Sir David Attenborough in Private Life of Plants as well.
Can you use stones at the bottom of a larger planter to set the potted orchid in?
From the moment a new bud appears how long it takes to open?
Someone help me pleasee 🙏🏼. I’ve been researching online but I can’t find anything and I don’t know what to do. My orquid flowers and buds are dry BUT they are not falling off.
Everyone talks about what to do when they fall of but it’s been months and they are still attached to the orquid but completely dry
Why do my white blooms turn Polk a dot violet next blooming season?

After losing all my buds to bud blast, what do I do about the flower stem? Should I cut it?
Yes, if you search it on youtube it will tell you how to do it. You can look at her video about it😊
One question I had, is it okay to remove blasted buds?
I grow my phalaenopsis under artificial light in a temperature controlled room (24°C). I water regularly and the roots look fine. Why are my buds dropping.
Thank you for answering my and others comments. I will improve my environment conditions because cold window and dry air might have been some of the causes
Very valid points made really nice! Especially the hybrid phals point makes sense to me!😁
Hi Danny, I have exactly same oncidium orchid as you have in the video at 6.08, do you know the name of it?
My orchid buds blasted under the same EXACT circumstances and conditions that they formed… idk what needs to change. 😢
Hi danny I moved last july, and plants responded super well to the new home (much more light in summer, but less humidity). This winter on the contrary it was a disaster, very short days but humidity remained unchainged. All my plants aborted buds, even cattleyas, I recently got a ultrasound humidifier but no led light for the moment. It was so frustrating, expecially for one phal (my very first one, which skipped blooming last year). Do you think it il light?
Should I leave the blasted buds on my plant?
What about spraying air fresheners into the air. Will that cause any damage?
hi danny, thank you very much. Your videos are very informative.
This happened to me yesterday :( still didnt get answers lol maybe just environment. If it is environment, what do we do to help it? Is bud blast reversible?
My new spike has several buds and I'm so excited! But sadly, the blooms surrounding the new buds are brown. They are dry brown blooms. Is this a lack of water? Thank you. I love your channel.
Can you use diatomaceous earth for pests on orchids?
Hi there Danni. Just want some information on or hids. Last year I purchased a Dendrobuim Kinganuim at a orchid show.

I am very late I have a orchid that 2 buds are just starting to turn yellowish is there any way to bring it back
I have an orchid that 2 years in a row, formed a spike but as the buds start forming they begin to weep a sticky substance and soon withers and dies. What is this?
That would be a good experiment 🧪
I think one of mine overproducing. My mini has a single stalk with the branches and a total of nineteen buds. The biggest ones are starting to blast. 😞
I just rescued an orchid from a supermarket basement floor where it was not getting the light and warmth it needed. Unfortunately all of the remaining buds dropped before opening so I think I was a bit late. Hopefully it will come back stronger next year ☺️
Did your orchid ever come back stronger?
Is there any I can do to stop bud blast?
Hello my phalaenopsis leaf (crown) is turning yellow and the buds are falling...i'm a beginner and don't know what is going on??? Any recommendations?
Should I remove blasted buds or let them be?
I recently purchased a cat. Hsin Buu Lady, after producing 3 flower spike, one has blasted. Do I cut that blasted spike? The other two spike are okay for now. I repotted it which likely stressed it. Thank you.
Would you know why my very small orchid is growing masses of roots, and no flowers in ages???
Lack of adequate light
So my mini phalaenopsis orchid came in a square wooden box/pot in one corner and there are three succulents in the other three corners of the pot. So there’s no ventilation or airflow at all. I want to repot it into a proper orchid safe pot and so that it doesn’t share with succulents. However it is in bloom so that’s unfortunate
Hi! Please advise! i bought an orchid about 3 weeks ago and it had most of the flowers open and had about 6 buds left, well all the buds opened BUT now 4 flowers have closed/wilted.....did i kill it? Its in sphagnum moss and i have watered it once since its water retentive and i dont want to rot the roots... and i havent checked them since i dont want to shock the plant and lose flowers....buuut....HELP! LOL
I have one that drop all the blooms and I have one that just lost 5 I have 4 left please help
Thank you for this video. So if having bud blast are going to cut the buds or just leave it like that?
Do you happen to know the name of your white with purple stripes Phal? I have the same one👍😊
Hi all! I have a question I am still having trouble finding answers to: I purchased my wife 2 orchids about 4 weeks ago.

I have an oil burner, and I experienced bud drop in my phals when I vaporized lavender oil near them. I think it has some components that act similarly to ethylene. I only lost maybe 3 buds until I figured out what it was, so it wasn't very severe.
Hey! I’ve got two dendrobium plants but they haven’t bloomed or flowered in about 3 months now. No buds or stems. What am i suppose to do? I’ve hung them outdoors in high sun exposure

My new Andrea West had about 30 buds in about 6 stalks. Some opened10 but died within a week the rest dried up. What happened? I only had the orchid 3 weeks😥
Sounds like it didn't adjust properly to its new environment
Hi Danny, love your videos, very informative and unique. I watched a lot of them, learned a lot but I have a question regarding the stem. When should it be cut, how do you know if it's rotting at the bottom (on phalaenopsis)? Thanks 😘
I got a Cattleyas root are withe and drown, I tried it listening on it to
Hi, am a complete beginner, I have just purchased 2 mini orchid phal plants, but they haven't come in transparent pots, but in China pots and I can't see anything unless I remove top miss and dig under the bark. It is cowering, but I'm starting to lose some buds. Can you tell me what to do, I don't really want to try and repot unless I have to. I love these plants so much, please help me!!
Thanks Danny I'll look out for that. That was very helpful information your my orchids angel.
I thought I was getting bud blast but I think one just fell off because of the water I sprayed for humidity. It didn't turn brown or anything just fell off. No other changes. :/
Would like some personal help with my orchids
I repotted and immediately buds and blooms started falling off how do i fix it?
If it’s a phal you should only go up one pot size and they love their roots to be exposed.. also use the orchid potting mix.... at least this is what I did when I was a florist
Could over- or under-watering cause bud blast??? 🌸 💧
Hi, underwatering can cause dehydration, thus stress, so yes it can definitely lead to bud loss.

I am having bud blasts which I think is contributed by ants. When my orchids start to bud I get a surge of large black ants and tiny red ones that seem to take over my orchids. Lasy yr I had more bud blasts than blooms. Can ant spray be used on orchid plants in bud? @missorchidgirl
Hi, try placing your orchids on top of a dish with water, that way ants can't climb on them :)
@@MissOrchidGirl thks never thought of that, now someone also suggested my orchids have thrips. She suggested spraying them with Malathion, is that good on orchids? My phal Harlequinn has blasted all the buds and the orchids that open don't stay for a long time and petals have abnormalities on them, your thoughts?
Hi, I don't know I don't like to use toxic insecticides on orchids :)
@@MissOrchidGirl ok thks!! I decided not to as well but I am having alot more bud blasting
This is very beautiful. Waaaww 💐💐💐.
Tks for sharing 😍😍😍👍
Thank you so much
Thank you.
I bought my boss a miniature phal for Christmas and it of course blasted every single bud but one. I can't wait to go to work and tell her we can blame the dog farts (we're dog groomers if my name doesn't make it obvious lol) instead of the winter transport hahaha!
🤣
I repotted my orchid thinking that it would help the roots but it started to bud blast and I'm sad 😩
Try to not report them while in bloom.. it causes stress
The fruit thing is real...
I spy a carnivorous plant at 4:46 :)
