Orchid blooms last from six to ten weeks, depending on the type of orchid and the care provided. Consistency is key for orchids to thrive, and with the right mix of water and light, they can flourish. Orchids need to dry out between thorough watering and require bright, well-draining soil. Indoor orchids typically bloom for two to three months, but this can vary depending on the species and care provided.
The lifespan of an orchid depends on factors such as the type of orchid, environment, proper care, and watering. If properly cared for, orchids can bloom twice a year for 15-20 years, with phalaenopsis orchids typically lasting two to three months. Phalaenopsis orchids live indefinitely, although they sometimes carry on by making keikis over time. These bold pouched flowers may only carry a single flower on each stem, but that flower may bloom for up to four or five months.
Orchids can live for up to 15 years under the right conditions, with each flowering cycle lasting up to 12 weeks. When your orchid blooms, its flowers may fade or fall off, signaling pruning time. To maintain bloom, increase sunlight, use the right mix of water and light, and ensure the orchid is well-cared for.
