How to make it bloom in winter

The formation of spring orchid buds requires a period of low temperature, which is professionally called the "vernalization period." Without this "vernalization period", flowers will never bloom. So we take advantage of this and create an early "vernalization" time.

Spring orchids will go into a dormant state in winter, but we want to make it dormant early, put it in an environment with a temperature of 10 to 5 degrees and keep it for about 20 days, and then move it to an environment of 15 to 20 degrees and maintain it normally, forcing it to wake up early and stop dormancy, and then it can bloom.
