Why is my orchid not flowering?

Many people also wonder how to tell if an orchid will bloom.

You can see tiny buds on the stalk to indicate that the plant has begun to produce new flowers. You can encourage moth orchids (Phalaenopsis), to bloom on the same stalk during the next cycle of blooming by cutting the stalk to a healthy node.

The next question is: How often should an orchid flower? Some orchids only bloom once a year while others may bloom twice a year. Some flowers can last for weeks or even months once they are in bloom, while others may only last a few days. Basic research on the type of orchid will help you to determine what to expect. Phalaenopsis orchids bloom only once a year, but they can bloom for several months.

Then, you might also wonder, "How long does it take an orchid to rebloom?"

About six to nine months

Can coffee grounds be used to grow orchids?

Mycorrhizae is a great option for orchids. They can even do it themselves when they are in good health. Coffee grounds make a great organic fertilizer, especially for violets. You can substitute old diluted coffee for the Garrett Juice recipe.
