Orchid blooms last from six to ten weeks, and to maintain their longevity, it is essential to increase sunlight, fertilize weekly, avoid overwatering, and keep the flowers dry. Orchids are known for their delicate petals and colors, which can range from pure white to golden yellow and deep cerise. However, their blooms don’t last indefinitely, and most indoor orchid flowers can last from several weeks to several months on average.
To maintain bloom, increase sunlight, fertilize weekly, avoid overwatering, and take care to keep the flowers dry. It is important to maintain the right kind of light, whether it is bright, indirect, or filtered. Orchids can bloom twice a year for 15-20 years, with phalaenopsis orchids typically lasting from two to three months.
Orchids should bloom at least once a year, though species vary in their bloom cycles. Flowers generally last on average two to four months, but they can fade before six weeks and endure beyond 10. The quality of the flowers can last up to 12 weeks after blooming, and pruning time is when the flowers will likely fade or fall off.
Orchids can flower for a very long time, about 3 months, sometimes longer, but flower spikes won’t last forever. It is crucial to watch closely to ensure that your orchid is growing properly and that the right type of light is used to maintain its health and longevity.
