When do orchids bloom?
Article introduction: Let's learn about the blooming time of orchids and the planting content of green plants and flowers related to the ornamental season of orchids.
What to do after the orchid finishes blooming?
Orchids are beautiful and elegant, known as the "queen of flowers." They have a long blooming period, numerous varieties, and are often considered as seasonal flowers that bloom around the Spring Festival. Most orchids can only bloom once a year, but some orchids may sprout flower spikes after blooming. What should be done? This depends on the situation.
First, strong orchids
If your orchid has strong roots and is in good growing condition, trim the remaining flower spike after blooming to save nutrients. And supplement it with multi-element fertilizer to promote the growth of the flower spike as soon as possible. However, the second flower spike will be smaller than the first one and produce fewer flowers. This is because the first blooming consumes a lot of nutrients, so when the second flower spike appears, it is necessary to supplement multi-element fertilizer to replenish the nutrients consumed during blooming, and then supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to make the flowers larger.

Second, weak orchids
If the roots of the orchid are not strong and there are rotting roots, it is necessary to cut off the remaining flowers after the first bloom and change to fresh sphagnum moss, repairing the rotting roots. The new flower spike should be cut off to save nutrients and preserve the plant.
Wait until the plant is strong enough before letting it bloom. If you force the plant to bloom when it is not healthy, it will consume most of the plant's nutrients, which can lead to the orchid withering or even drying up.
