I bought an orchid that looks just like this, from Home Depot. I thought the blooms would open, but they are not. I think it must have to do with the growing conditions. I have another 4 year old orchid that started blooming again when I started watering with orchid fertilizer "weakly" weekly. One bloom shoot started in January and has 11 blooms on it - fully in bloom by May of this year. The other shoot has been blooming since last November. It's down to 4 blooms but another is coming. I believe in watering with fertilizer weakly weekly.Helpful Reply -
