Why doesn't the yellow horn orchid bloom? How to make the yellow horn orchid bloom

Many flower lovers have yellow horn orchids at home. Yellow horn orchids are "white orchids". They are small evergreen trees native to Southeast Asia and Indonesia, and are classified in the genus Michelia of the Magnoliaceae family. Whenever the flowers bloom, they emit a rich fragrance that makes people feel fresh and comfortable. Why do they sometimes not bloom? Let's take a look!

Why doesn't the yellow horn orchid bloom?

Wild yellow horn orchids generally grow in an environment with sufficient light, and have formed a light-loving growth gene. The entire growth process requires sufficient sunlight to meet the growth of the plant. If it is placed in a dark place for a long time, the leaves will grow too long and the reproductive organs will not mature (no flowering). Because for light-loving flowers and plants, light is needed to stimulate the flowers to bloom.

How to make yellow horn orchid bloom

If the yellow horn orchid does not bloom due to too little light in the placement location, then you need to move the location immediately to provide sufficient sunlight, so as to continuously promote photosynthesis in the leaves and produce substances that promote flowering. Ryoko believes that the south-facing windowsill or balcony indoors can receive more than 5 hours of sunlight a day, which can meet the plant's flowering needs for light; if outdoor conditions permit, it is best to place it outdoors to receive direct sunlight. In addition, because it is maintained in a dark location for a long time, it needs to provide sunlight from weak to strong to avoid leaf burns.

How to fertilize yellow horn orchid

If the yellow horn orchid does not bloom due to malnutrition, then a scientific and reasonable fertilization and maintenance method must be used to transfer nutrients from the roots to the top of the branches, so as to achieve the effect of promoting the formation of flower buds and the gestation of flower buds. For the fertilization and maintenance of the yellow horn orchid, because the growth gene is more afraid of cold, and the summer temperature is too high to fertilize, only spring and autumn are suitable for fertilization. Ryoko thinks that when the temperature rises in spring, after pruning the frostbitten and aged branches, use cake fertilizer water diluted with clean water to irrigate, once every 20 days until the flowering period arrives. After entering the flowering period, use potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which has a flower-inducing effect, for maintenance. After being diluted 1000 times with clean water, it is done every 15 days until the flowers are over.

Wild yellow horn orchids have long been growing in a soil environment rich in humus, and have been provided with sufficient nutrients for a long time, and have formed a gene that likes fertility. If there is no fertilization and maintenance for a long time, the plant will be malnourished. Once the top of the branch does not absorb nutrients from the root system, it will not be able to promote the maturity of the reproductive organs, and will not bloom.
