I just cannot keep orchid flowers on the plant!! I try every single time to water it just enough. I’ve tried soaking once a week, ice cubes, exact amount watering…. Nothing saves the blooms. Within a month it is leaves and sticks.. I’ve tried Miracle Grow fertilizer posts, sprays and water soluble powder, nope not happening. This spring new leaves started to grow, but no shoots for flowers. It’s frustrating to not be able to enjoy the beauty of this plant for more than a few weeks.
