Orchids usually do not bloom due to insufficient water, especially in the summer when the weather is hot and water evaporates quickly. Therefore, it is important to water frequently, but not too much to avoid root rot. In winter, the frequency of watering can be reduced, but the soil should still be kept moist.
<2. Improper fertilization>
Fertilization should consider the growth period and weather conditions. During the flower bud differentiation period, it is not suitable to apply too much nitrogenous liquid fertilizer, but phosphorus-based fertilizers should be used instead, as excessive nitrogen can affect flower bud differentiation and future flower quality. Fertilization should be stopped during the bud formation period to avoid yellowing or falling of flower buds. In summer and winter, when temperatures are too high or too low, fertilization should also be stopped, as it can affect growth and blooming.
