When does the iron orchid flower bloom and how to manage the flowering period

1. Flowering period

Unlike other flowers, the iron orchid flower normally blooms in winter, specifically between January and March, with a flowering period of up to three months. When the flowers bloom, they are brightly colored and very ornamental.

2. Flowering period management

1. Fertilization: No matter what kind of plant it is, the nutrients consumed when the flowers bloom are more than usual, so fertilizer should be applied before flowering to supplement nutrients. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be used as fertilizers, but you can stop fertilizing immediately after the flowers bloom. You should continue to apply fertilizer regularly, only in this way can the flowers bloom better.

2. Watering: It likes a humid environment, so you should water it frequently during flowering to keep it moist. But pay attention to the amount of water and do not allow water to accumulate, otherwise the roots will easily rot, causing the flowers to fail to open normally.

3. Light: It likes light very much, and needs more sunlight during the flowering period. Only with sufficient light time can the flowers bloom more fully, otherwise it will grow poorly.

4. Pruning: After the flowering period, trim the remaining flowers and cut off the dead branches together. This can save nutrients, promote the growth of new branches, and make the plant more beautiful.
