The Florist’s Secret to Very Blooming Orchids

3. Fertilize Frequently
The flowering of orchids requires a specific fertilizer for this type of plant, which we can find in specialized stores. Without fertilizer, flowering is unlikely. It is usually marketed in liquid form, to be added to irrigation water.

Orchids that come from greenhouses are already abundantly fertilized, but after a few months you have to start treating them with fertilizer as well.

4. Ensure Proper Temperature Contrast
To bloom, orchids need an excellent temperature contrast in the weeks leading up to the arrival of spring. Normally this contrast is around 10°C between the minimum of the night and the maximum of the day, always respecting the limits of 15°C and 30°C.

You can also move the plant from a warmer place to a cooler place within 24 hours to get the right temperature.
