Yes, I have noticed it and yes chlorine is a factor. Some plants are
more sensitive than others. I have a lot of houseplants and use tap
water that has been standing for 24 hours to allow some of the chlorine
to dissipate into the air. This was not sufficient for the orchid. It
did not bloom for a year. I then changed to filtered water. After a
few months it bloomed and is now growing well and I expect to see
massive blooms at Christmas.
