If your orchid hasn't bloomed in a while, there are certain tricks that will help the plant stay healthy and bloom.
What is the dormant period of an orchid
During the dormant period, the orchid rests after pruning and accumulates strength for the next season, but during this period it also requires care. The plant recovers in at least 7-8 weeks.
How to make an orchid bloom
Orchids begin to bloom at the age of one and a half to three years, when they have grown at least five leaves.
For this, the plant needs certain conditions. Failure to comply with them may cause a lack of flowering.
Try making your own flower conditioner from boiled rice water.
It contains thiamine, niacin, folic acid and riboflavin, which are essential for orchids to bloom.
It is best to apply boiled rice water once every 3-4 weeks during the growing season.
In such a situation, you can deliberately create a little stress by moving the pot to a cooler place for a while or reducing the frequency of watering.
