Why does the pet orchid no longer bloom?
Orchid, a delicate beauty, but her favor must be earned. Why does the orchid not bloom at home and how to create tropics in a separate apartment? The questions are not easy, but solvable. Otherwise, why does a neighbor's orchid bloom for six months? Hence, you need to love the stubborn and understand her.
Analysis of the conditions for keeping an orchid
When buying a flower, you need to ask a specialist for an explanation of which variety and features of its cultivation. Phalaenopsis Orchid, the most unpretentious varietythat tolerates light shading well. But there are orchids for which the southern window is suitable, and even the summer heat is well tolerated by them. The orchid does not bloom if the conditions of detention are violated.
You should always put a saucer of boiled water next to the orchid. Put a clove of garlic in the substrate.
If the flower was purchased in a store, and it has already bloomed, and the arrow has turned yellow, then the rest period can last up to a year. If the plant is grown from children, then it will take more than two years to wait for the first flowering. By this time, the root system will gain strength and the orchid will release 5-6 leaves. Early flowering will weaken the beauty.
Why doesn't the orchid bloom at home after transplanting? When to wait for the first arrow? The transplanted plant first builds up its root mass within six months. After aerial roots develop, leaves grow. Flower buds are laid in the axils. The initial period of development of the plant in favorable conditions contributes to the establishment of a larger number of peduncles.
- The roots are well developed, green, some of them are located along the walls of a transparent pot, some are at the top, absorbing moisture from the air.
- The substrate does not contain fresh bark, sawdust or manure.
- It is better to keep the lighting diffused.
- The difference in day and night temperatures when laying the peduncles should be at least 5 degrees.
- Top dressing liquid fertilizersdepleted in nitrogen every 10 days before the release of the arrow.
The conditions for setting flower buds are listed, but biological requirements for keeping orchids.
What if the orchid does not bloom and is developing well? You will need to provoke an arrow ejection. The aerial root and arrow look the same at first. But the tip of the arrow is rounded, and at the root it is sharp, as in the photo.
How to make an orchid bloom
Orchid is a tropical plant that does not know what winter and summer are. But she distinguishes between the season of warm tropical rains and drought. Climate change can trigger bloom. The condition for stressful activities is the health of the plant. A weakened flower can be destroyed.
Applying stimulants in the form of Epin, succinic acid, daily morning aerial spraying and weekly watering with the addition of the drug can add energy and the plant will throw out the arrow.
If you water the orchids from above, then the water is filtered and takes out excess salts. Along with the water, oxygen is delivered to the roots.
Why doesn't the orchid bloom, but the leaves grow? This means that an excess of nitrogen was given in the diet. A well-spent drought season can help. In a month or two, flower buds will appear if you create a lack of moisture, but the temperature should not be higher than 300 FROM:
- The time for keeping the roots in a dry state between waterings should be increased to 4 days in a warm content, up to a week if the room is cool.
- Do not spray, fertilize, fight like this!
- A peduncle will appear and orchid care resume, only exclude fertilizing watering.
- Arrange proper lighting, supplementary lighting in winter cold light lamps at a distance of no higher than 40 cm from the crown.
- If the "drought" is done correctly, the flower stalk will grow and the lower leaves will become softer than usual.
What to do to make the orchid bloom after the "rainy season" We use only water heated to 35 degrees for water procedures. There are many ways to encourage an orchid to bloom.
Water for 3-4 days in a row, then let the plant dry for two weeks. After that, leave as usual.
Three times a day for a week from a spray bottle with warm water with Epin or succinic acid for a week.
In a warm steam room, water the plant from the shower with water at 35 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Let the bathroom cool down with the flower so that the steamed plant doesn't catch a cold.
You can use only one of the methods to accelerate flowering.
The question of why the orchid does not bloom at home may have an unexpected answer. You smoke, and the flower cannot stand the smell of tobacco smoke. Do you always have a bowl of fruit on your table? But the flower does not like the ethylene released by ripening fruits. When cleaning, the flower is rearranged from place to place? Don't wait to bloom. When purchasing a flower, you need to notice how it stood, and keep orientation if possible.

But no. The freshly cut baby was given to me somewhere else about 4 months ago. Yesterday I found a small arrow on it. How long the baby lived on the orchid, I really can't say, but after cutting it off and half a year has not passed before she gave an arrow. Therefore, I did not have to wait two years)
Hello! I have 8 phalaenopsis of different sizes at home, all but one white orchid bloom 2-3 times a year. But this white has not bloomed for 5 years since the time I bought it. I tried all the methods offered on the Internet and dried it out and did not disturb and arranged a period of rains, all to no avail, drives leaves and roots, but does not want to bloom. All the orchids are on the same windowsill in the same conditions, only one does not bloom, what's the matter?
Perhaps you have come across a particularly fastidious variety. After all, she grows, does not disappear, even fattens, as I understand. So, overfed or fertilizer is not suitable. Try to buy not a complex, but a special fertilizer focused on stimulating flowering, for example, Pocon or Zdraven Aqua.
Hello! My orchid has only leaves, it bloomed only when it was presented to me, and now the leaves grow very quickly, there are no flowers.
The fact is that until recently I did not fertilize orchids practically at all. Recently I bought an expensive spray at OBI, for about a month I spray everyone 2 times a week, but that toadstool still does not react in any way, in my mind, ungrateful, and all the rest, despite the late autumn and now winter, bloom or continue to grow flower stalks ...
Do you fertilize it? Maybe too much nitrogen? The leaves are so elastic, straight. Try buying a special fertilizer to stimulate flowering. And to bookmark a peduncle, there should be a temperature difference between day and night of about 5 degrees. Is the room hot?
I often get the impression that these flowers grow however they want. I didn't fertilize mine, I almost ruined mine, the bay, but she gave two peduncles and bloomed all winter. But I fiddled with the second, so she disappeared completely. Maybe we should just wait? The main thing is that she is alive, growing and not sick.
