Also, the orchid should not be placed under direct sunlight.

Secondly, you can make an orchid bloom by changing the temperature abruptly.

When the night temperature reaches +16 degrees, leave the flower on the balcony overnight.

Thirdly, increasing the interval between waterings to 10 days helps stimulate flowering.

After the first flower stalk appears, you should return to the normal watering regime.

In addition, you can resort to cutting the flower stalk 2 centimeters above the third bud.

After the procedure, the flower pot cannot be moved, as this may interfere with flowering.
