How can I get my orchid to blossom?

I've had an orchid for over 5 years and it grows well, but it never blooms? What can I do to get it to bloom?



I have it in my office at work.

How can I get my orchid to blossom?
First you need to know what type of orchid that you have. Different orchids require different care. Usually the ones found in the stores are Phalenopsis orchids (moth orchids). They are fairly easy to get to rebloom. All orchids will need to receive the correct amount of light, fertilizer, humidity, etc. to bloom. It is probably also time to 'groom' your plant, that is...remove old, dead roots and repot in the correct potting mix (not potting soil!) The best answer i have for you is to visit

www.orchidweb.org , the official site of the American Orchid Society. It really helped me out when i started out with orchids!

Reply:My guess is that it 1) is getting too little light 2) may need a bit of fertlizer (I use a "constant feed" variety - 1/4 strength in the water each time I water mine) or 3) may need a sort period of cooler (NOT COLD) temperatures in order to trigger blooming.
Reply:it wont flower in your office

take it home and put it in a semi shade position or under a tree, that can handle a little bit of direct sunlight, but not all day.

feed it with some bloom booster and hope that you have buds forming next winter.



once buds start forming, put it back in your office and enjoy
