Provide Bright, Indirect Light Place orchids near a window with filtered sunlight. Avoid direct light, which can scorch leaves, but ensure they get enough to encourage blooming.
Mimic Natural Light Cycle Ensure your orchid gets 10–12 hours of light during the day and 12–14 hours of darkness at night, especially during its dormant phase.
Monitor Temperature Fluctuation Expose orchids to a slight temperature drop (10–15°F cooler at night) to stimulate the blooming process, replicating their natural habitat.
Fertilize Regularly Feed orchids with a balanced fertilizer (like 20-20-20) every two weeks during their growth phase to provide essential nutrients for blooming.
Water Properly Water orchids sparingly, allowing the roots to dry slightly between waterings. Overwatering can prevent re-blooming and harm the plant.
Trim Spent Flower Stem After blooms fade, trim the spike just above a node to encourage the growth of a new flower spike or leave it for potential reblooming.
Repot When Necessary Repot orchids every 1–2 years with fresh orchid bark mix to avoid root rot and provide the right environment for healthy growth and blooming.
