Orchid Reblooming: Annual Cycle and the Repotting Key

Phalaenopsis Bloom Pattern

Most bloom once yearly. If old spike stays green → possible second flush. If brown → wait for new basal spike next spring.

With good health, Phalaenopsis bloom annually for decades.

Repot after bloom in orchid bark mix. Old mix → root rot → decline. Fresh mix → air to roots → vigor → flowers.
