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?
