Four simple tips to stimulate orchid blooms

Orchids are popular houseplants known for their beautiful flowers and difficulty in care. However, experts say that the plant can easily bloom again.

In cold weather, orchids tend to stay dormant for several months before blooming again. However, four steps are enough to stimulate flowering, according to Express.co.uk.

In particular, after the orchid has faded, gardeners recommend regularly fertilizing it with a fertilizer specially formulated for orchids. It is also important to pay attention to watering.

It is important to keep the roots in high humidity in a pot with proper drainage. You can also place the pot on a tray with pebbles.

A brightly lit room provides the best lighting conditions for orchids. This is especially important for this plant because insufficient lighting is one of the most common reasons why it does not bloom.

Orchids respond to a noticeable change in temperature, blooming when the temperature changes by 10-15 degrees between day and night. Therefore, to make the orchid bloom again, move its pot to a cooler place overnight.
