If the maintenance environment is suitable, the faster-growing varieties can bloom after 5-6 months of division. Seedlings propagated from seeds take longer to bloom. Some faster-growing varieties can bloom three years after sowing. Some slow-growing varieties take 7-8 years to bloom.

< p>1. Keep warm: Temperature is an important factor affecting flowering. If you can provide the orchid plant with a warm environment of about 20℃ during the flowering period and maintain a day and night temperature difference of about 10℃, you can make it bloom more.

2. Control light: Before flowering, it needs to be properly shaded to provide it with softer light conditions. Be sure not to expose it to strong light, otherwise it will affect the differentiation of flower buds and prevent it from blooming.

3. Appropriate top dressing: Before it blooms, it is recommended to apply appropriate fertilizer Topdress with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to provide it with nutrients and stimulate it to grow more flower buds. This will also help it bloom more. But it should be noted that after it blooms, proper fertilizer control is needed, and it is best not to fertilize.
