Use a Balanced Fertilizer: Make a mixture using a balanced liquid fertilizer (like 30-10-10) diluted to one-quarter strength.
Cold Temperature Shock: Orchids often bloom when exposed to cooler temperatures for a short period. Try placing your orchids in a cooler spot (around 55-60°F) at night for 2-3 weeks.
Cinnamon for Root Health: Sprinkle cinnamon on the roots or base of the orchid when re-potting.
Proper Light Exposure: Orchids require bright, indirect light. Try placing your orchid in a location where it gets at least 6 hours of indirect sunlight per day.
Humidity Boost: Orchids thrive in high humidity. Use a DIY humidity tray filled with pebbles and water or mist the air around the orchid with water.
Watering with Ice Cubes: Instead of over-watering, use ice cubes as a controlled way of watering your orchid.
Prune Dead Blooms: After blooming, cut back dead or spent flowers. This allows the plant to focus energy on new growth and encourages the potential for more blooms.
