Its blooming period can last for several months, from winter to spring, with the most abundant flowers in April and May. The flowers start to bloom around 4 pm every afternoon. The flowers are very bright and beautiful, with colorful hues such as white, yellow, and light purple, with each flower resembling a beautiful butterfly dancing.
Before the butterfly orchid blooms, fertilizing should be stopped, and after the blooming period, appropriate top-dressing should be done, focusing on phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Provide adequate lighting conditions every day to promote bud differentiation for blooming, with 6-8 hours being ideal. Water moderately before the blooming period to maintain a slightly moist potting soil environment. Keep the temperature between 18-26 degrees Celsius.
