How to flower orchids all year round without difficulty

Fertilize sparingly

Orchids do not need much fertilizer, but regular intake can help them flower. Use a special fertilizer for diluted orchids in water water water once a month during the growing period.

Control temperature and humidity

  • Orchids enjoy moderate temperatures during the day and slightly cool at night.
  • High humidity is important for orchids. You can increase moisture by placing a bowl of water near the orchid or using an air humidifier.

Repot at the right time

Orchids need to be repotted every 1 to 3 years to renew their substrate and promote their growth. Choose a new pot slightly larger than the old and use a specific substrate for orchids.

Encourage flowering

  • To encourage flowering, you can simulate a rest period by slightly reducing watering and reducing fertilizer intakes for a few weeks.
  • Make sure that your orchid always receives enough light during this period not to compromise the formation of flower buds.

By following these simple tips and carefully observing the needs of your orchid, you can easily make it bloom all year round without difficulty. Do not forget to give her a little regular attention and she will reward you with her grace and her continuous beauty.
