Common reasons for lack of flowering and how to fix them to get an orchid to bloom again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With the exception of a few orchids such as Ludisia, home gardeners generally do not grow these plants for their foliage. In fact, it’s frustrating to look at this pretty plant every day and hope for flowers that never appear. Even sadder is watching an orchid develop buds that shrivel and fall off without ever opening. Fortunately, many of the problems that prevent your beauties from thriving can be solved with small gestures. So how to care for an orchid to stimulate its flowering? We’ll tell you all about it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lichtmangel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lack of light is the main reason why orchids refuse to bloom or rebloom. The varieties Dendrobium, Cattleya and Cymbidium like light conditions, but not direct sunlight. If your plant never comes out of the darkness of the home or office, you may need a grow light to get flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you have placed your orchid in full sun, you may notice severe symptoms such as burnt leaves, but even an excess of artificial light can slow flowering. In addition to cooler temperatures in the evening, the shorter days in autumn can signal an orchid to form buds. If you keep your plant indoors, in a room where the lights are left on 24 hours a day, it will not receive this important natural signal. If you use artificial light, set a timer to simulate the cycle of natural daylight and darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variable temperature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You may know that, as a tropical plant, your orchid prefers warm temperatures. Orchids also need to experience a temperature amplitude to trigger flowering. If possible, expose your pots to night temperatures of 10\u00b0C for two weeks at the start of flowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you get an orchid to bloom again? Need for proper nutrition (fertilizer)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While it’s true that orchids aren’t big eaters, an orchid living in a sterile inorganic mixture may need a supply of nutrients to perform at its best. The best type of fertilizer is a product without urea, which provides nitrogen even in the absence of the activity of microorganisms commonly found in rich garden soils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roots need attention\/repotting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Repotting is a delicate process for orchid growers. If your flower’s growing medium begins to decompose, the roots may suffocate due to lack of oxygen. However, some orchids do not like having their root zone disturbed and will refuse to bloom six months to a year after repotting. Still other orchids prefer to be root-bound and bloom only when they appear to be strangled by their pots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To determine whether your plant needs repotting, evaluate the root system, not the foliage. Even good growing media compromise over time, which can prevent vital air from circulating to the roots. If the roots look brown or the planting material resembles garden soil in density, it’s time to transplant. If more than one or two roots are coming out of the pot, it may be time to divide the orchid to preserve the flower’s vigor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overwatering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you give your orchid too much water, the lack of flowering can be a precursor to rapid decline and death of the plant. Orchids that are about to bloom and receive too much water may lose their buds. Most flowers need to dry out between waterings, and you should never allow them to have wet feet (water-saturated soil in the root zone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orchids grown in the right type of pot with a special growing medium rarely suffer from excessive watering. Adjust your watering program based on your plant’s growing medium, container size and environment. If the roots turn brown, you are watering too much. Crumpled leaves can be a sign of a lack or excess of moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inadequate irrigation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Some orchid growers are mistaken about desiccation in their well-intentioned efforts to avoid overwatering the plants. Remember that orchids come from humid jungles and are exposed to regular downpours. If your flower becomes too dry, the leaves will draw water from the developing buds to sustain themselves. How sad to see the long-awaited buds turn yellow, shrivel and fall off one by one as the plant rehydrates its roots and leaves. If you forget to water frequently, use a humidity container to create a more orchid-friendly growing environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know when your orchid variety blooms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most of our favorite garden flowers bloom in summer, many orchids bloom in fall, then winter and spring. Purchasing a flowering plant is not necessarily an indication of when it should bloom, as growers can cause blooming in the greenhouse by altering the light and temperature. Identify your orchid and you can then learn more about its natural flowering cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanda orchids bloom two to three times a year, with each bloom cycle lasting up to six weeks. In contrast, the very popular Cattleya and Cymbidium orchids only bloom once a year, but their ease of care makes them a popular choice for novice growers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you get an orchid to bloom again? Steps to follow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Phalaenopsis orchids are cheap and their flowers last for many weeks. Once the flowers have faded, it’s tempting to get rid of your plant, but with a few simple tricks it’s possible to keep an orchid blooming again for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait for the flowers to fall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your orchid has bloomed and the flowers have fallen, you are left with a flower stalk. Don’t be tempted to cut it to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cut the stem down to the next button<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the plant has lost all of its flowers, cut the stem just above a visible joint (node) instead. This should stimulate the production of another flower stalk in the next few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also cut the exhausted flower stalk down to the base<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When no shoots appear and the original stem turns a straw-yellow color, remove it at the base. The plant should eventually produce a strong new flower stalk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Water correctly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excess water is the most common reason for orchid death. If your shabby orchid has a clear pot, take a look at the roots. Don’t water when they’re green – wait until they’re silvery. Allow the water to drain through the bottom of the pot – do not leave the plant standing in water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place it in a warm and bright place<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orchids love bright but indirect light – too much direct sunlight burns the leaves. A location near an east or west-facing window is ideal. These plants appreciate high humidity, so you can place them on a tray of wet pebbles – the roots will absorb moisture from the atmosphere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
