When does the cold orchid bloom?

1. Flowering period

Generally, the flowering time of Cymbidium is at the beginning of winter, but some varieties also bloom in the other three seasons, so they are also called spring, summer and autumn Cymbidium.

Generally, an orchid will only bloom in one season, but the winter orchid is different from other orchids. There are many species of orchids that can bloom in all four seasons. Records of specialized research on Cymbidium orchids show that there are approximately more than 350 varieties of Cymbidium orchids.

So from this it can be seen that the flowering season of Cymbidium is generally in early winter, but some varieties of Cymbidium may bloom in spring, summer and autumn.

If you can buy a variant, you may be able to see it bloom in spring, summer and autumn.

2. Management of flowering period

1. When the cold orchid blooms, be sure to spray foliar fertilizer several times. The fertilizer used is basically potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Because the cold orchid needs a lot of nutrients when it is blooming, it must be supplemented with enough nutrients. This can increase the resistance of the cold orchid and make the flowers of the cold orchid grow large and beautiful.

2. When the orchid is in its blooming period, you can increase the frequency of sun exposure appropriately. This method can increase the resistance of the orchid and make the color of the flower more vivid.

3. During the flowering period of the orchid, it is very susceptible to diseases and pests. If affected, it is likely that the flowers will not open easily or the opened flowers will be incomplete. Some powerful insects will even bite off the buds of the orchid. Therefore, it is important to prevent diseases and pests in a timely manner.

4. Before the flower buds of the Cymbidium grow to a certain height, do not move the flowerpot, because the growth of flower buds has its own characteristics and they will grow towards the sun. If the direction is changed by moving the flowerpot, it will easily cause the flower stems to bend and become unsightly.

5. During the flowering period of Cymbidium, water should be controlled appropriately so that the flowers will bloom longer.

6. When the Cymbidium is in bloom, never touch the flower buds with your hands. Also be careful when watering and fertilizing, not to sprinkle the water on the flower buds, otherwise it will affect the flowering of the Cymbidium.
