🌸 How to Rebloom Orchids! 🌸

Did you receive a gorgeous orchid as a gift? 🤩 You admired its beauty 😍, took care of it… and then, one by one, the flowers fell off. The stalk dried up. 😔

Yeah, yeah… we’ve all been there. 😅

I wanted to master orchid reblooming all by myself. 🌱 And guess what? It’s possible! Here’s what worked for me. 👇

💧 The #1 Rule: Less Water, More Consistency!

✅ Orchids only need 1/4 cup of water per week.

✅ Stick to a strict schedule – pick a day and write it down.

📅 Example Watering Schedule (Tuesdays):

✔ 2/18/25 – 1/4 cup water

✔ 2/25/25 – 1/4 cup water

✔ 3/4/25 – 1/4 cup water

✔ 3/11/25 – 1/4 cup water + 1 drop fertilizer 🌱

🔄 Repeat the pattern!

📌 Pro Tip: Automate reminders on your phone 📲 or keep a physical note!

🚫 What NOT to Do! (Avoid These Orchid Mistakes!)

❌ Don’t wash the entire plant just because the leaves look dusty.

❌ Don’t submerge the whole pot in water—this can cause root rot.

❌ Don’t overwater! Even if the soil looks dry, stick to the schedule.

❌ Ignore viral hacks like garlic water, tying up a half apple 🍏, or other “root rescues.” If it’s dying, it’s probably too late. 😬

☀️ Light & Placement: Where Should Orchids Go?

💡 Place near a window for natural light.

🌅 Mine faces northeast and sits on a homemade flower board in the kitchen.

📏 Keep it 3-6 inches from the window for ideal light exposure.

🌱 What’s Okay to Do? (Things That Help!)

✅ Repot when necessary – If roots are exploding out of the container, move to a bigger one!

✅ Trim bad roots and refresh the soil occasionally.

✅ Use the right planting mix

✅ Use breathable pots

🎯 Recap: The Secret to Reblooming Orchids!

💦 1/4 cup of water per week (no more, no less!)

📅 Stick to a watering schedule (every Tuesday works great!)

☀ Place near a bright window (but not direct sunlight!)

⚠ Avoid common mistakes! No weird internet hacks.

🌸 Let your orchids thrive & bloom again! 🌸
