4. Trick to Stimulate Flowering: One of the most effective tricks to stimulate orchid flowering is to expose them to a bit of cold. During colder months like February, March, October, or November, place the orchid outdoors on a balcony or terrace, avoiding frost, direct sunlight, and cold drafts. Keep the orchid outdoors for a week. This way, the plant senses the seasonal change and triggers flowering.
If the roots are already exhausted and the plant hasn’t bloomed for an entire year, try another trick: add a teaspoon of dissolved honey to the water used for irrigation. Perform this operation no more than once a year.
5. Transplanting: Transplanting is straightforward: remove the plant from the pot and let the pine bark fall. Spray a specific orchid fungicide on the roots, then use some substrate to replant the orchid. Continue filling the pot with substrate, tapping it gently to settle it.
6. Pruning: When an orchid spike stops producing flowers and enters a layer of decay (turning brownish and starting to dry), cut it with sterilized scissors. To aid in healing the cut, apply a bit of powdered cinnamon.
By incorporating these tricks into your orchid care routine, you can enjoy a continuous display of blooms and keep these beautiful flowers thriving for years to come.
