When do orchids bloom? (Orchid flowering period)

1. When does orchid bloom?

There are many varieties of orchids, and their flowering times are mostly inconsistent, so you can see blooming orchids all year round.

2. What factors affect orchid flowering?

The first thing is definitely the variety. There are many varieties of orchids, and the flowering seasons of different varieties vary greatly. Some can bloom in winter like the winter orchid, some can bloom in spring from March to May like the cymbidium, and some can bloom across several seasons like the jianlan, which has a very strong vitality and can bloom from May to October.

Then there is the growth environment. This growing environment includes growing conditions such as region and climate. Even for the same species of orchid, if it is grown in different regions and climates, their flowering seasons will be different. However, this difference is relatively small compared to the difference across varieties. The flowering time will not differ too much, except that the south will usually bloom earlier than the north.
