If your orchid hasn't bloomed in a while, there are certain tricks that will help the plant stay healthy and bloom.

What is the dormant period of an orchid

During the dormant period, the orchid rests after pruning and accumulates strength for the next season, but during this period it also requires care. The plant recovers in at least 7-8 weeks.

It is best to apply boiled rice water once every 3-4 weeks during the growing season.

In such a situation, you can deliberately create a little stress by moving the pot to a cooler place for a while or reducing the frequency of watering.
