How many times a year does Cymbidium orchid bloom?

1. How many times does it bloom?

The normal flowering period of Cymbidium is from October to April of the following year. It is possible to bloom during this period, and the flowers can last about 20 days. Under normal maintenance, it can only bloom once a year. It is not completely impossible for it to bloom twice, but the possibility is very small. This requires high growing conditions and many factors, and it must be carefully cared for.

2. How to open and re-flower

1. Plenty of sunlight: This is a plant that loves sunlight very much. Only with sufficient sunlight can it accumulate nutrients and promote the secondary blooming of flowers. However, it cannot be placed directly in the sun in summer and still needs appropriate shade.

2. Pruning after flowering: After the flowers wither, be sure to remove the remaining flowers. This can reduce the consumption of nutrients and accumulate nutrients to supply new flowers. Otherwise, it will have a greater impact on re-flowering.

3. Replenish water: Replenishing water is also a very important factor, which has a great impact on flowering. Pay attention to watering during the growing period and avoid too dry conditions. Water 2-3 times a day in summer and once every 3-4 days in other seasons. Also maintain good humidity.

4. Apply fertilizer: Apply fertilizer before flowering, and don’t forget to replenish it after flowering to accumulate enough nutrients for future growth.
