If the orchid is satisfied with everything, then after the buds appear it will bloom within about 3 months.
But it happens that time passes and the miracle does not happen. In this case, flower growers need to reconsider the conditions of keeping the orchid.
There are several reasons why a flower is capricious. Gardeners primarily evaluate the quality of lighting and watering.
Air
Another pillar of orchid health is air. If the room is regularly filled with cigarette smoke or the room has not been cleaned or aired for a long time, then unfavorable conditions are created for the flower.
But it is important that the orchid is not exposed to cold air from an open window. Otherwise, you can't expect flowering.
Another nuance that many people consider a trifle. Some do not think about it at all and do not pay attention.
Apples, tomatoes or parsley lying next to the orchid emit ethylene, which causes the buds to fall off quickly. In some cases, the plant still blooms, but the process is shortened several times.
