Orchids are typically healthy plants that go through their normal growth cycle, with flowers fading and falling off during the blooming period. This does not mean the plant is dead, but rather it is in a dormant state. Some orchids, like Phals, have roots and leaves that grow after their blooming period. Once the flower spike has fallen off, it is important to avoid cutting it down to the base.
Dead orchids lose their flowers, leaves wilt or turn pale, and roots rot. Rust-colored roots or leaves are also common. To properly care for your orchid after they bloom, follow these steps: provide the right amount of water, light, and fertilizer, repot, and prevent flower death.
Orchids need to get their beauty rest between blooming periods, which lasts about six to nine months. This time replenishes nutrients lost during the initial bloom, allowing them to store energy for their eventual reblooming. A happy, healthy orchid usually reblooms every 8 to 12 months, but some may rebloom in the same season.
If new leaves turn yellow and drop off, the plant is either receiving too much light or water. To add some shade, filter sunlight through a filter. Orchids don’t flower and die, so with proper care, they will bloom again. Some orchids may bloom for several months before the blooms wilt and fall off.
By nature, orchids are destined to die after a few months, and blooms tend to last for about two months, depending on the species, plant health, and other care factors.
