Nobody talks about this: how to replant an orchid so that it blooms more often than once every 4 years

Your orchid hasn't bloomed for years? It's all about repotting. Most people plant it in regular soil and then wonder why it dies.

Subtleties of transplantation

The secret is pine bark. Get 2-3 cm pieces, boil for 20 minutes and dry.

Plant the orchid in a transparent pot with bark - the roots must receive light.

When replanting, cut off all dry and rotten roots and sprinkle the cuts with cinnamon. It will disinfect and stimulate growth.

The Secret of Blooming

And to make the orchid bloom all year round, give it “stress”. Put it in a cool place (+15 degrees Celsius) at night, and return it to warmth in the morning.

Repeat 5-7 times - the plant will produce a flower stalk. And water not with water, but with ice cubes. Put 2-3 cubes once a week - melt water and cold will awaken dormant buds.

But the care doesn't end with the transplant.

Spray the airborne corches with water with added vitamin B1 (1 ampoule per liter). This will strengthen the immune system.

And once a month, give the orchid a "bath": immerse the pot in warm water for 15 minutes, then let it drain. This imitates a tropical downpour.

And the last piece of advice

Never place an orchid near apples! They emit ethylene, which causes flowers to wilt prematurely.
