How long will it take for the orchid bud to bloom

The time from bud to flowering of different species of orchids is different. But it usually takes months for the bud to fully bloom. Some varieties that bloom slowly, such as Cymbidium, take 5-6 months to blossom after the bud grows. In addition, there are also a few species of orchids that take a short time from bud to flowering. Jian Lan, for example, generally takes only 15-30 days from bud to flowering.

2. What if the orchid does not blossom after it grows its bud

1. Keep waiting: because most orchids take a long time from bud to flowering, there is no need to be in too much of a hurry. If the bud has just grown for 1-2 months and grows well, don't worry, continue to maintain it for a few months, and it will blossom naturally when the time is up.

2. Vernalization: if the cultivated orchid is a variety that needs vernalization, such as Cymbidium, Cold Orchid, Cymbidium, etc., it should be vernalized in an environment of about 10 ℃ before it blossoms. The time of vernalization depends on the environment of vernalization and the varieties of orchids raised, but it usually takes about a month. If it is not vernalized and kept in a warm place, it may not blossom.

3. Water control and maintenance: if it is watered too much after it grows a bud, it will not blossom. At this time, the water should be controlled in time, and it should be transferred to a ventilated, semi-overcast environment, waiting for it to recover.
