I have an update for you all and the question:

Thumb of 2023-02-23/jnicholes/71d806

This orchid suffered a fall while I was playing billiards. I accidentally hit it and knocked it off of the credenza with my cue. That's why there's not many flowers.

My question is simple. I thought they were supposed to wilt from the bottom up. As you can see, a flower is wilting in the middle of the stalk.

Was I mistaken, and do they wilt at random places? If not, am I doing something wrong that is making the plant unhappy?

My other orchid, however, is doing fantastic. I've been fertilizing both biweekly, and watering both weekly. So far, it seems to make the purple one happy. I'm not sure about the yellow one.
