Why does yours orchid not blooming?

Beautiful Orchid


Flowering is only one phase (phase generative) in the development of plants, which is in direct connection with the growth of green parts (vegetative stage). Some orchids flower, when the growth of green parts is closed, the others before it starts. In this rough division are still a lot of variations, which are essential if we are to prepare the orchid to re-bloom. Exact knowledge of the growing cycle of each genus orchid is therefore the key to success, if we want to see the flowers. Given the complexity and diversity of orchid family (Orchidaceae), it is impossible to create a transparent description of plant growth cycles and the formulas for flowering.
Phalaenopsis If the plant has a sufficiently strong and healthy leaves bloom when you move in a cooler area. The difference must be at least 5 ˚ C. Minimum temp. 16 ˚ C!
Cymbidium grows rapidly in spring, summer forms pseudo bulbs, autumn they ripen and in winter, however, thrives. In autumn the plants need to highlight the low-temp. (about 7 ˚ C) until the first flower. Otherwise, the plants only grow and not flower.
Dendrobium Nobile Type thrives on similar care as cymbidiums.
Miltonia and all the hybrids in this group of flowering is not precisely defined, is the shift between different genera and even between species within the genus vary.

Most popular orchids, phaleonopsis, may still in new branches blooming whole year and more. Most orchids otherwise not flourish so long, the average is somewhere between 14 days (miltonia, cattleya) and one month (cymbidium, paphiopedilum, oncidium). Only a day or two of flourish vanilla and orchids of the genus stanhopea.
How long to hold a single flower on the Orchids?
Inflorescence phaleonopsis and paphiopedilum can remain healthy and beautiful even more than four weeks, while the flowers cattleya becomes plain after 10 to 14 days. By the age of many orchid flowers start to change color until at the end does not redden and fall. These include a number of vandas (v. coerulea and hybrids), zygopetalum, cymbidium and others.

This question is impossible to give a single answer. Many families have a specified period of blooming that encourages climate factors. If this situation we can not guarantee, we’ll never saw the flowers. These include the dendrobiums type Nobile, cymbidium, falusi, sinokes etc...

Blooming Orchids


In contrast with these orchids, there are also large group of orchids, which do not have a clearly specified period of bloom and bloom when they are sufficiently strong and therefore able to hold flowers. These include phalaenopsis, paphiopedilum, many masdevallia etc...

Most orchids require the same care: like having a lot of light (not direct!) and plenty of water, which incidentally can not even stand in a decorative container, for flower it would be bad. If you foster your orchid properly, the new flowers, depending on the species, occur in three to six months.

Do not re-potting orchids too often in the new container. Normally, do this only a few times. And one more bad news - under ambient conditions is very difficult to reproduce orchids. Continue to do your best with orchids Cymbidium: once from the earth grows six germ flower is simply divided into two smaller flowers.
