How long is the growth cycle of orchids?

Introduction to Orchid Growth

Orchids are mostly grown in temperate and subtropical regions, distributed in various provinces and regions such as Yunnan, Sichuan and Taiwan, such as Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Guangdong, Fujian, Taiwan and other places.

Orchid growth cycle

The growth cycle of orchids is relatively long. It usually takes three years of care before they can bloom, and some even take more than ten years. If properly cared for at home, the normal flowering period can reach three to four months.

Orchid growth rate

Orchids begin to grow when the temperature is above 15 degrees, and the growth rate increases when the temperature reaches 20 degrees. Sufficient light is needed during the growth period to promote plant growth.

Orchid growth cycle management

The growth and development of orchids depends on their own genetic factors and environmental factors. During the cultivation and growth process, they are closely related to factors such as temperature, air humidity, ventilation, and fertilizer.

Temperature management: Orchids grow best in an environment of 20-30 degrees during the growing season, 10-20 degrees in winter, and 0-1 degrees at night.

Fertilization management : Orchids need nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer the most for growth. Lack of nitrogen fertilizer will cause the leaves to turn yellow. Lack of phosphorus fertilizer will cause the leaves to become crooked and the amount of flowers to bloom will be small.
