【One, When do orchids bloom】
Generally, orchids purchased in the market need to be cultivated for three months before they bloom, and careful care is needed to make them bloom. Overwatering or underwatering can affect their normal blooming, so it's best to follow the principle of watering only when the soil is dry and watering thoroughly when you do, to ensure proper care for the orchids.
Moreover, the blooming period of orchids is usually after the Spring Festival, so during this time, flower enthusiasts can fertilize more to promote flower growth. It may not be long before they bloom. After the orchids have bloomed and wilted, it's important to pay attention and remove the wilted flowers as soon as possible, as they can reduce nutrient absorption and affect the normal growth of the orchids.
【Two, How many times do orchids bloom in a year】
Orchids usually bloom only once a year when cultivated at home, and they may bloom twice or even three times with careful care. Temperature is the main reason for the differentiation and formation of orchid flower buds. Not only does it require a certain annual accumulated temperature, but also short-term low-temperature treatment is needed to make the flowers more abundant. During the growth peak, liquid fertilizers can be applied to both the leaves and roots.

【Three, Reasons why orchids don't bloom】
<1. Insufficient watering>
Orchids usually don't bloom due to insufficient water, especially in the summer when the weather is hot and water evaporates quickly. It's important to water frequently, but not excessively 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 stage and weather conditions. During the flower bud differentiation stage, it is not suitable to apply excessive nitrogenous liquid fertilizers; instead, phosphorus-based fertilizers should be used, as excessive nitrogen can affect flower bud differentiation and the quality of future blooms. Fertilization should be stopped during the budding stage, as it may cause the buds to turn yellow or fall off. In summer and winter, when temperatures are too high or too low, fertilization should also be stopped, as it can affect growth and blooming.
