Different species of orchids need different time from the bud to the flower, but most orchids need several months for the bud to fully open. For example, Cymbidium, after the bud grows out, it takes 5-6 months to blossom. However, there are also a few species of orchids that take a shorter time from bud to blossom. For example, it takes only 15-30 days for Cymbidium to grow buds and blossom.

1. How long can tulips bloom

Tulips usually bloom between April and May each year, which can take more than 20 days.However, the length of the flowering period also depends on the usual maintenance.If the environment provided during flowering is more suitable, the flowering time will be extended appropriately.On the contrary, if the environment is not suitable, the flowers will wither ahead of time.

2. How to prolong the flowering period of tulips

1. Appropriate temperature: Tulips are afraid of high temperature environment, so it is better to control the temperature properly during flowering, and the most appropriate temperature is between 15 and 20 degrees, which can prolong the flowering period.If the temperature is too high, the flowers will fall early.

2, the light is sufficient: want its florescence to lengthen, what the flower opens is more exuberant, be about to let it bask more.Put it in the lighting place to ensure that it can get enough sun.If it is placed in the shade for a long time, the flower buds can not differentiate, the number of blossoms will decrease a lot, and those that have already opened will wither ahead of time.

3. Reasonable fertilizer and water: It naturally needs more nutrients for flowering than usual, so it should be fertilized before flowering, and enough nutrients should be applied to ensure the demand for nutrients during the flowering period. It is best to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers every ten days, and stop fertilizing in time when flowering.In addition, we should also pay attention to the amount of watering, reduce watering in flowering period, before each watering, we should first look at the dry and wet situation of the soil, see dry and then water, a small number of times.
