Step 1
One of the factors affecting the emergence of flower buds is the length of daylight hours. Orchids require long daylight hours. Quite a long time can pass from the moment the buds begin to grow. Give your orchids extra light with special lights. Use only those that do not heat the air.

Step 3
In order for the orchid to bloom, you need to reduce watering and dry the plant. This is done until the lower leaves of the flower lose their elasticity. Then the plant should be watered by immersing it in warm water for 15-20 minutes.
Step 4
Lack of light will also encourage the orchid to develop flower stalks. Place the orchid with dry soil in any dark place for 6-7 days, then return it back to its usual windowsill. After 3-4 weeks, the flower will have flower stalks.
Step 5
For the successful flowering of an orchid, proper and careful care is necessary, an important role in which the temperature in the room in which the phalaenopsis is located plays an important role. Provide orchids such that night temperatures are 4 ° C lower than daytime temperatures. If the temperature in the room is from 25 ° C to 32 ° C, then the orchid will not bloom, but will begin to actively grow leaves.
Step 6
Don't forget to feed your orchid. Add once every 3 weeks zircon to the water for irrigation and the bud or pollen to the water used to spray the leaves of the flower.
Step 7
Subject to the following simple conditions, careful care of the orchid and constant attention to the flower, phalaenopsis will delight you with year-round flowering.
