1. How to care for orchids when they bloom

1. Soft light: When the orchid is in bloom, it should be given some soft sunlight and not be exposed to direct strong light. This allows its leaves to photosynthesize and synthesize nutrients, which is good for its flowering.

2. Control the temperature: Orchids also have certain temperature requirements for flowering. It likes temperatures around 20℃, and maintaining the temperature around 20℃ during the flowering period is conducive to its continued flowering. But some varieties, such as Cymbidium and Cymbidium, prefer lower temperatures and are suitable for flowering in an environment between 10-18℃.

3. Spray water at the right time: Most orchids prefer slightly humid air conditions. When it blooms, you can spray some water into the air around it to increase the air humidity, which can make it bloom better.

4. Stop fertilizing: Do not fertilize orchids when they are blooming. Because applying fertilizer at this time may damage its root system and cause it to flower prematurely. In addition, if you accidentally drop fertilizer onto the flowers when fertilizing, it will cause the flowers to wither prematurely.

2. Can orchids be repotted when they are in bloom?

It is not recommended to repot orchids when they are in bloom. After the orchid blooms, you should try to give it a comfortable and stable growing environment and avoid disturbing it. This helps to prolong the flowering period. If you accidentally damage it when repotting it at this time, it will easily cause its flowers to wither prematurely. However, if there is a major problem such as a broken pot that is big enough to affect its growth, it is still necessary to repot it.
