Sharing with everyone the blooming season and time of butterfly orchids and the knowledge of caring for butterfly orchids during the flowering period. Next, the editor of this site will introduce to everyone.
【One, How Long Does the Butterfly Orchid Flowering Period Last】
Generally speaking, the flowering period of butterfly orchids can last for two to three months. However, if people start caring for them from the seedling stage, it will take at least two years for the butterfly orchid to bloom. Because the flowering period of butterfly orchids is from April to June, and there is also a possibility of extension. As long as orchid enthusiasts care well, they can make the butterfly orchid bloom more enduringly.
If the butterfly orchid fades, cutting the flower stem from the base 4-5 nodes will allow the butterfly orchid to bloom again after two months. It can be seen that the number of times butterfly orchids bloom is relatively high, and the duration of the flowering period is also long, so it is very suitable for breeding at home.
【Two, Butterfly Orchid Flowering Period Care Skills】
<1. Suitable Temperature>
The growth of butterfly orchids requires a high temperature, especially during the flowering period. The temperature for the flowering period of butterfly orchids should be 23°C to 25°C during the day and 15°C to 18°C at night. This temperature difference can effectively foster flower buds. If the temperature is too high, it will cause the flowers to fade prematurely; if the temperature is too low, it will freeze the flower buds, affecting their development. In autumn, it can be sprayed with water to maintain humidity.
<2. Reasonable Watering>
During the flowering period of butterfly orchids, the required amount of water is much lower than that needed during normal times, as moderate soil dryness is beneficial for the flowers to bloom more beautifully. Generally, as long as the soil moisture feels slightly warm to the touch, it is fine. If it is too dry, the leaves will become wilted, lose their luster, and become unattractive.
<3. Light Requirements>
The light intensity required for the flowering period of butterfly orchids is very different from that in the early stage. In the early stage, they need shade and shelter, but at this stage, the shading material should be removed. Strong light intensity helps the flowers to open up, with even internode spacing and bright colors. There is no need to increase the light intensity or follow a fixed precise light intensity data.
<4. Sufficient Nutrients>
A single flower stem of a butterfly orchid can produce many flowers, so it consumes a lot of nutrients. After the butterfly orchid blooms, it needs to be supplemented with fertilizer to provide enough nutrients for the plant to bloom, making the butterfly orchid bloom more and the flowers more colorful and beautiful. Therefore, appropriate fertilization should be carried out during the care process.
<Conclusion>
Through the detailed introduction above, I believe everyone now knows how long the flowering period of butterfly orchids is. Generally speaking, the flowering period of butterfly orchids can last for two to three months. If you want to extend the flowering period of butterfly orchids, you must follow the flowering period care skills mentioned above to make the flowering period of butterfly orchids last longer.
