The florists’ secret to having very flowering orchids

3. Fertilize frequently

The flowering of the orchid requires a specific fertilizer for this type of plant, which we can find in specialized shops. Without fertilizer, flowering is unlikely. It is usually marketed in the form of a liquid, to be added to watering water.

The orchids that come from the greenhouses are already abundantly fertilized, but after a few months we must start caring for them also using a fertilizer.

4. Ensure adequate temperature contrast

To flower, orchids need an excellent temperature contrast in the weeks before the arrival of spring. Usually this contrast is around 10°C between the nighttime minimum and the daytime maximum, always respecting the limits of 15°C and 30°C.

To obtain the correct temperature, you can also move the plant within 24 hours from a warmer place to a cooler one.
