I have a fairly common phal that I have had bloom for the first time while
being cultured in my house. I am new at growing phals and have a basic
question. Some of the buds did not open and fell off. 4 buds did open.
I am assuming that the buds that fell off did so because of low humidity.
I
moved the plant out into my kitchen when the first buds opened and I am
assuming that the humidity in my kitchen is lower than in the bedroom
where
the phals are generally kept.
I know I need to get a humidity meter so I cannot tell you the absolute
humidity.
I could mist the plant, but, to be honest, these particular flowers do
nothing for me and I didn't really mind the buds dropping off.
But in general, do the buds need to stay in a humid environment to keep
from
falling off. The assumption here is that they dryed out before opening.
Thanks for any replies.
Vito
