Can spring orchids bloom without spring transformation? Why do my cymbidiums not bloom?

If flowers want to bloom, they must first have buds or flower buds. However, for orchids such as spring orchids and cymbidium orchids, after having flower buds, they must undergo low-temperature vernalization before they can bloom well. So can spring orchids and cymbidium orchids bloom without vernalization? Why don't the cymbidium orchids I raise bloom?

Can Cymbidium orchid bloom without spring transformation?

Spring orchids and cymbidium orchids can bloom without vernalization, but it is abnormal flowering and the quality of the flowers is not as good as normal. Most common spring orchids grow close to the surface of the pot, forming ground-hugging flowers. The proportions of the petals and flower stems are unbalanced, and the feeling of being top-heavy is not aesthetically pleasing. The flower stems of cymbidium orchids are not upright and droop.

Flowering without vernalization is common in weak seedlings, of course, there are also strong seedlings, but the proportion is much smaller. Weak seedlings may be a signal that the plant needs to reproduce and wants to complete the task of reproduction as soon as possible before the end of its life. In the natural state, if this kind of seedling blooms early, it means that it is not far from the pot.

However, most spring orchids and Huilans have difficulty growing normally without low-temperature vernalization. They often dry up gradually without lack of water or fertilizer. This is because the flower buds are not fully developed and the nutrients are insufficient. They are defective and will be eliminated naturally.

Why don't my cymbidiums bloom?

1. Sufficient nutrients, add compound fertilizer during the growth period to meet the growth requirements, the plants are strong and have the possibility of flowering. Add phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before the flowering period to promote flower bud differentiation;

2. Good ventilation environment, sufficient light but it must be diffuse light. Too weak or too strong light will have a negative impact on the growth of orchids;

3. Before flower buds differentiate, they must go through a low-temperature vernalization process, which takes 1 to 2 months, with a temperature difference of at least 10°C between day and night. Otherwise, it will be difficult for flower buds to differentiate;

4. Get proper watering habits. If the planting substrate is not dry, it is not suitable for watering. In spring, summer and autumn, the substrate should be kept in a slightly moist state.

How many flowers can a cymbidium orchid bloom at most?

Cymbidium usually has 7 to 11 flowers per stem, with 9 being the most common, hence the name Nine-headed Orchid or Nine-son Orchid. However, the number of flowers per stem may also change due to environmental factors.

The most flowers I have ever seen on a Cymbidium orchid is 13. There may be more but I haven't seen it. The fewest flowers I have ever seen on a Cymbidium orchid is only two. It could be damaged by any reason.

The blooming time of orchids is between March and May. The number of orchids that bloom is closely related to daily maintenance. The stronger the plant grows, the more flowers there will be. Cymbidium orchids generally have many flowers on one arrow, with eight to nine flowers blooming on the stem. 16 flowers are considered a lot.
