Got it for free in a - i presume - rather rock-bottom state and now it is finally in bloom again! So happy rn
I’ve never been able to get orchids to successfully rebloom. What did you do?
watered them every other week, fertilized (lightly!) maybe once a year and exercised patience - no tricks.
A big thing people skip (sorry OP, seems you did too) is using a transparent flower pot. The reason being that the roots also need light. I’ve had an orchid exactly like OP’s going on 5 years, and it sprouts flowers twice per year. In fact, it is beginning a new flowing cycle now.
Humidity helps too. Also lower temperatures at night can trigger blooming. Mine always bloomed in January/February.
I no longer have these, but they were in a large aquarium to keep up the humidity.
That’s fantastic, something to be really proud of. It’s so beautiful, made my day.
It’s beautiful, what is it?
Phalanopsis?
It looks like an orchid. I don’t know the variety . Very beautiful but temperamental plants.
