Now in bloom/bud
Orchids which are in bloom/bud now
As soon as a stalk protrudes and announces the next flowering, patience is needed for the coming splendor. This might take a few weeks. However, dry indoor air can endanger the buds. If the humidity is below 50% or if the plant is directly attached to a radiator, it is advisable to spray the smallest buds daily with water to prevent them from drying out. If buds fall off, it is also possible that the watering is too frequent.

The production of flowers is an event the costs the plant a lot of energy and nutrients. Too much moisture causes the roots to ache. This has a negative effect on the supply of water and nutrients, thus on the overall health of the plant and ultimately on the flowering success. But if that's not the case, location-related factors - such as ripeness of a nearby fruit bowl, solvent fumes in a newly refurbished room, or a nearby gas connection - can be a source of concern, similar to dormant flowers.
In any case, your orchid is looking forward to a nice sunny and warm location to quickly turn their buds into beautiful flowers. By the way, now is not a good time to repot them. Wait until the flowering phase is over and give it fresh substrate and more legroom in a new pot. Interesting to know: The flowering phase of an orchid has a fascinating regularity, because the oldest and most plump buds always open in front of the smaller younger at the stem tip. These take the time to fully develop while others are already open. Eventually, the bud that first flourished will wither the earliest.
