Lost buds!

[OrchidAnna]

Does anyone have thoughts on what happened here? Yesterday the buds looked good and strong, today they look like this

There are a number of reasons that buds can fail.

• Sudden temperature drop
• Sudden humidity drop
• Blast from a dry, warm air source
• Thrips or some other insect
• Ethylene exposure due to ripening fruit or an unvented gas flame.
• (Probably others I haven’t thought of)

Thanks. I’ll chalk it up to dry indoor air now that it’s winter here.

I would be inclined to blame the temp change, similar thing happened to me 15 yrs ago.
