Orchid Hybrid
I accidentally cut my orchid's stem of buds off - now what?!?
Tonight the temperatures outside were supposed to get to 42 degrees, and my phalenopsis hybrid has put out a beautiful stem of buds that haven't blossomed yet, so I decided to protect the orchid. When I went to cover it, the stem snapped clean off!!! AUGH!!! I am so depressed because this is the first time I've actually kept an orchid alive long enough for it to rebloom. So what do I do now? If I keep the blossoming stem in water with some feed, will it bloom? Or should I give up and start banging my head into the wall? Also, the only reason I was going to cover the orchid was because I heard that they'll drop their buds if they're not protected in a cold snap. Was that even true, or did I sacrifice my little beauty for nothing?
STOP!!! Don't touch the remaining stem! If you leave the bloom stem intact (attached to the plant), it will usually continue blooming from one of the remaining joints of the stem. It will take a week or two, but it will bloom from that part too.
I buy spent-bloom phalaenopsis orchids from hardware stores at a discount (reg $21.99, down to $5) when they can't sell them because their blooms have died after about 2 weeks. If you leave the bloom stems intact...they invariably bloom a second time from a joint in the stem.
P.S. Not sure why you have a phalaenopsis outside. They really belong indoors in bright light.
