Hello

I have had this M&S orchid house plant for a few months. It started out well but is now not blooming and looking a quite sad. The instructions have been followed, it’s in a very bright room, hasn’t been moved and is not overwatered. Can it be saved or is it too late?

No. Its full of buds and is juat about to flower

Oh really? It’s been like this for weeks, that old flowering bud was from one of the original buds that was open. There’s no sign of any new buds opening they’ve just stayed like this for weeks, and they are starting to turn yellow, the leaves are also limp.

Keep it in a humid environment. I have one in my bathroom and it's gone wild.

How and how often are you watering it?

What soil is it in? Orchids like that need to be in a clear pot with orchid bark not compost, and have their roots exposed to light.
