Phalaenopsis will flower throughout the year!!!

Yes, this is almost true, Phalaenopsis will flower almost all the time if they are properly cared for. The trick is to carefully prune the flower after the last bloom falls but before the flower stem starts to dry out.

To find out where to prune, look at the stem, find the node that produced the first bloom. Go back down the stem to the first spot where a sort of small leaf wraps around the stem. This is a node, and will sprout a new flower. Cut a half inch above this node with share scissors. In a few days or weeks you will notice the node begin to swell and produce a new flower.

If you repeat this you can keep one flower stem flowering for up to nine months, more than enough time for a new flower to develop, hence keeping the plant in virtually continual bloom.

I love my orchids, so I will post something new every week or so so please come back.
