You’ve probably seen those fascinating pictures of orchids at fairs and shows with literally uncountable Cattleyas blossoms open on a relatively tiny plant. Jaw-dropping to say the least. Cattleyas will generally produce one flower per pseudobulb if they are young plants. Once adults, they can grow two or more—mostly two—per new pseudobulb. So how do the growers induce Cattleyas to make more flowers? It’s all in the pruning. Cattleya Orchid, Oncidium, Phalaenopsis, Orchids, Gardening Tips, Flower Spike

Orchids don’t thrive on water and sunlight alone. In their natural habitat, orchids receive nutrients from the overhead leaves which form a canopy above them. Nutrients floating in the air fall onto their roots and provide them with extra minerals that keep them healthy. In our home environments, this is harder to achieve, but can be done using fertilizer.
