<1. Insufficient watering>
Orchids usually do not bloom due to insufficient water, especially in the summer when the weather is hot and water evaporates quickly. Therefore, watering should be frequent, but not excessive, to avoid root rot. In winter, the frequency of watering can be reduced, but the soil should still be kept moist.
<2. Improper fertilization>
Fertilization should consider the growth period and weather conditions. Too much nitrogenous liquid fertilizer should not be applied during the flower bud differentiation period; instead, fertilizers rich in phosphorus should be used, otherwise it will affect the differentiation of flower buds and the quality of subsequent blooming. Fertilization should be stopped during the bud formation period, otherwise it may cause yellowing or falling of the flower buds. In summer and winter, when the temperature is too high or too low, fertilization should also be stopped, as it may affect growth and blooming.
