How to Encourage New Blooms
🌱 Water Propagation – Place the cut stem in water to see if roots form, creating a new plant.
🌱 Keiki Growth – Some orchids naturally grow "baby orchids" (keikis) on cut stems. If this happens, you can later repot them.
🌱 Dormancy Period – If the stem stays green but doesn’t bloom, patience is key. Orchids often go through a resting phase before producing new flowers.
Frequently Asked Questions
🔹 Will my orchid bloom again after cutting the stem?
Yes! If the stem is still green, it may rebloom from a node. If it’s brown, the plant will focus energy on growing a new stem.
🔹 What should I do if my orchid doesn’t show new growth?
Ensure it’s getting enough light, humidity, and nutrients. Orchids have a natural dormancy phase, so patience is important.
🔹 Can I propagate a cut orchid stem?
Some orchid varieties can grow new roots from a cut stem, but it’s more common to propagate through keikis or division.
