A bit of knowledge to share with you on how to make Phalaenopsis orchids bloom more and better in flower planting related experience, as follows:
Caring for Phalaenopsis orchids and making them bloom more is a delicate task. It takes 3 years to cultivate new Phalaenopsis orchid plants to form flower buds and produce beautiful flowers. The differentiation of Phalaenopsis orchid flower buds is mainly influenced by temperature, requiring a certain amount of annual accumulated temperature and short-term low temperature treatment. After entering autumn, the low temperature of 15-18°C at night is the condition to ensure the differentiation of its flower buds. Conducting low-temperature treatment on the seedlings for 18 hours a day for a consecutive period of one and a half months can form many flower buds. After the flower buds are formed, the night temperature can be maintained between 18-20°C, and the flowers will bloom after 3-4 months.
Phalaenopsis orchids have a long blooming period. If the flower stalks are cut early as cut flowers, they can bloom a second time that year. Different Phalaenopsis orchid varieties bloom at different times, generally, each flower stalk can produce a dozen flowers, blooming from bottom to top one after another, and a single flower can bloom for over a month.
To promote abundant blooming, liquid fertilizer can be sprayed on the leaves and roots during the growing season. In spring, fertilize every 3-4 weeks. Stop fertilizing during flowering and fertilize every 10 days after flowering. Fertilizing should focus on liquid fertilizers high in phosphorus and potassium content, applying a small amount and dilute each time. In summer, when Phalaenopsis orchids grow vigorously, apply a solid organic fertilizer on the pot surface once, then apply liquid fertilizer once a week. In autumn, as the weather cools down, gradually reduce the frequency, and stop fertilizing by the end of October.
