There is an opinion that caring for an orchid is too complicated, and the flower often dies without having time to please its owners with its beauty.
Here are some simple tips, following which your orchid will bloom from 2 to 6 months, and phalaenopsis - all year round.
How old is your plant?
First of all, you need to know the age of your orchid. Perhaps the plant is too young, and you are waiting in vain for it to bloom.
Age depends on the number of shoots; if your orchid has 5-8, then the plant is mature enough to bloom.
If flowers appear on a young plant, this is more bad than good.
The young orchid does not yet have enough strength to recover after flowering.
Orchids don't like change.
Even moving a pot to another shelf is a real stress for the plant.
If such a need arises, place the pot with the same side to the light as it stood before. Do not move the orchid during flowering, this will negatively affect the growth of the flower.
Pots for orchids
A common mistake beginners make is buying the wrong pot.
The fact is that the orchid root system actively participates in the process of photosynthesis.
Therefore, the roots need light. Keep the orchid only in transparent plastic pots with sufficient drainage holes.
Follow these simple rules and enjoy the beauty of your favorite flower.
