How to Trigger Orchid Reblooming

Just Add Ice Orchids are very sensitive to temperature changes, so by exposing it to a cooler night time temperature for a month will help induce flowering.

Orchid reblooming of an orchid flowerYou’ll know a n orchid flower spike has formed when a root starts to grow upwards and the tip takes on the appearance of a mitten, as opposed to a root tip that is rounded. Once the orchid flower spike is identified, the orchid can be returned to its normal setting. As the flower spike grows, support it with a stake along the way. To produce a beautiful display of flowers, try to avoid changing the plant’s orientation to the light when it is producing its flowers.
