When do orchids bloom?
This article introduces some small life experiences about when orchids bloom and a brief introduction to the flowering period of orchids and green plants. Next, the editor will introduce to the netizens.
What should be done if the orchid blooms after the flowering period is over?
Orchid flowers are beautiful and gorgeous, known as the queen of flowers. They have a long flowering period, usually blooming during the New Year, with particularly beautiful flowers, like a branch picking朵朵 flower butterflies. If well cared for, orchids can bloom twice a year. There are many varieties of orchids, including large-flowered orchids, medium-flowered orchids, and small-flowered orchids, each with different flowering periods.
So, what should be done if the orchid continues to produce small flower buds after the flowers are finished?
First, let it continue to bloom
If the orchid is especially healthy with green, thick, and glossy leaves, strong aerial roots, and many crystal heads, it indicates that the orchid is well cared for and growing vigorously. It has enough nutrients to supply flowering, so in this case, you can let the orchid continue to bloom.

Second, unhealthy orchids
If the leaves of the orchid you are caring for are thin and a bit wilted, lacking luster and looking spiritless overall, it is recommended not to let it bloom anymore. Instead, focus on nurturing the plant. Cut the flower spike from the root, inspect the roots to see if there are any issues. If there is root damage, trim it immediately and replace it with new sphagnum moss. Although orchids with rotting roots can still grow and have many parasitic roots, if the core is rotten, there is no saving it. After treatment, place it in a shady area, let it recover the plant, and gradually expose it to some sunlight. Let it bloom next year and avoid letting it consume too many nutrients.
If the orchid is well cared for, it can simultaneously produce two flower spikes, indicating sufficient nutrients. It may also first produce one flower spike, and after the flowers are finished, the second flower spike starts to appear, which is also a normal phenomenon. If you want it to bloom, it can open normally. However, the second flower spike will be slightly smaller than the first, with slightly fewer flowers. During the period of forming flower buds, it is essential to supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote the differentiation of flower buds.
Third, raising seedlings
After the orchid blooms, it is necessary to cut the flower spike and apply a multi-element fertilizer, such as compound fertilizer, twice a month. Always apply thin fertilizers frequently, diluted at a ratio of 1:1000 or more. Water twice a month to replenish the nutrients consumed by flowering and promote plant growth, making the orchid strong and looking forward to blooming again next year.
