Help, my Cattleya does not bloom!
The large colorful flowers of the Cattleya are probably the reason why you own this orchid. In the nursery she stood in full bloom, but at home these flowers wither after some time, that is the course of nature.
Why is not my Cattleya blooming?
If your Cattleya does not bloom again after several months, then you should think about proper care. Under certain circumstances, a care mistake is the reason for the lack of flowering, but even a wrong location could be responsible. Her Cattleya does not tolerate direct sunlight, although she likes to shine brightly.
Waterlogging damages the Cattleya as well as a lack of nutrients. Excessive temperature fluctuations between day and night also increase the plant. If your Cattleya does not take a rest, she probably will not bloom. Infestation with thrips or other pests, however, is rarely the reason for the lack of flowering.
Reasons for the absence of flowering:
How can I make my Cattleya bloom?
Hardly any plant is in full bloom throughout, also your Cattleya needs a rest. During this time she should be a little cooler than usual, only a little poured and not fertilized. If your Cattleya does not bloom despite a rest period, it may be in the wrong place. Ideal is a bright east or west window, because it needs a lot of light without being directly exposed to the sun.
During the growth and flowering phase, the Cattleya needs water regularly, but not too often. It is ideal to dive the plant instead of watering it. That's how the roots can soak. Then drain excess water well, because waterlogging can also lead to blooming discomfort. Give your Cattleya special orchid fertilizer, commercially available flower fertilizer does not have the ideal nutrient composition for orchids.
Tips
If your Cattleya does not bloom as you wish, then check the location and care first. If both are in order, then give your Cattleya the possibility of a rest period, it will soon be back in full bloom.
