FAQ:
How do I get my Phalanx orchid to bloom again? Orchids bloom once a year, but with proper care, they may bloom multiple times. After blooming, cut back the flower spike to just above the node where the first flowers appeared, and ensure the plant receives proper rest, light, and water during its dormant phase.
Why is my Phalanx orchid not blooming? Orchids may not bloom if they aren’t receiving enough light, or if they are being overwatered or underfed. Ensure you are giving your plant the right amount of sunlight and humidity. Sometimes, a sudden drop in temperature can also encourage blooming.
Can I grow a Phalanx orchid without a pot? While it is possible to grow orchids mounted on a wooden surface, most Phalanx orchids are best grown in a pot with proper orchid mix to ensure root health and stability. If you want a more natural look, you can place it in a hanging basket or on a tree, but make sure it has the right environment to thrive.
How can I preserve the fragrance after the blooms fade? You can preserve the fragrance by drying the flowers carefully. Hang the blooms upside down in a dry, cool area away from sunlight, or press them into books. Once dried, place them in a decorative bowl, sachets, or potpourri to maintain the scent in your home.
By following these simple steps, you’ll have your very own Phalanx flowers blooming and spreading their delightful fragrance throughout your home, creating a beautiful and fragrant atmosphere for all to enjoy.
