Experienced gardeners and prepared housewives will immediately see the catch and will never buy such an orchid.

Just one sign can indicate that an orchid may not produce buds for a long time.

The delicate tropical flower has become a favorite of many housewives. There are entire blogs on the Internet that are dedicated exclusively to the orchid.

Fans of this flower know many tricks for growing it. Of course, they can easily choose a really healthy and strong plant that will delight with its flowering for many years.

Inexperienced indoor plant lovers can fall for the tricks of sellers. For example, on the counter there is an orchid, which is literally covered with flowers.

The buyer is sure that this plant is very good, because it blooms so magnificently. But at home they are disappointed. The orchid will soon shed its flowers, and new buds will not appear soon.

The problem is that the plant could have been overfed in the store to cause lush flowering. But after such a load, the orchid will have to spend a lot of time recovering. During this period, there will be no talk of new buds.
