Generally speaking, the blooming period of Phalaenopsis 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 Phalaenopsis orchid to bloom. Because the blooming period of Phalaenopsis orchids is from April to June, and there is also a possibility of extension, as long as orchid enthusiasts take good care of them, the Phalaenopsis orchid can bloom more enduringly.
If the Phalaenopsis orchid fades, cutting the flower stem from the base 4-5 nodes will allow the Phalaenopsis orchid to bloom again after two months. It can be seen that the number of times Phalaenopsis orchids bloom is relatively high, and the duration of the blooming period is also long, so it is very suitable for keeping at home.
【Two, Phalaenopsis orchid blooming period care skills】

The growth of Phalaenopsis orchids requires high temperature, especially during the blooming period. The temperature for the blooming period of Phalaenopsis orchids is 23°C to 25°C during the day and 15°C to 18°C at night, which is conducive to the development of 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 and affect their development. In addition, in autumn, it is dry, and the flowers can be sprayed with water to maintain humidity.
<2, Reasonable watering>
During the blooming period of Phalaenopsis orchids, the required amount of water is much less than that required during normal times, because moderate soil dryness is beneficial for the flowers to be more beautiful. Generally, as long as the soil moisture feels slightly warm when touched by hand, it is fine. If it is too dry, it will make the leaves wilt and lose their luster, thus becoming unattractive.
<3, Light requirements>
The light intensity required for the blooming period of Phalaenopsis orchids is very different from that in the early stage. In the early stage, it needs shade and shelter, while in this period, the shading objects should be removed. Strong light intensity helps the flowers to unfold, the flower arrow internodes are even, and the flower color is bright. At this time, there is no need to increase the light intensity, nor is there a need to follow a fixed precise light intensity data.
<4, Sufficient nutrients>
A single flower stem of a Phalaenopsis orchid can bloom many flowers, so it consumes a lot of nutrients. After the Phalaenopsis orchid blooms, it needs to supplement fertilizer to provide enough nutrients for the plant to bloom, so that the Phalaenopsis orchid not only blooms more but also has more beautiful and colorful flowers. Therefore, it is necessary to fertilize appropriately during the maintenance process.
