My daughter allowed me to take these home since all the flowers dried up and fell off so she was going to throw them out. How do I get them to flower again? Out is she right and they are thrash bound. Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
I don’t know much about flowering plants, but I feel like flowers bloom and then fade off. The leaves still look green and healthy so my assumption would be the flower lived its life cycle but the plant is still healthy to produce another flower at some other time

They are in their off season I think, my moms does this every year, they will flower if they have good lighting, soil, and water amounts, just keep them healthy and they will again. But they look good so I wouldn’t worry too much. Maybe clean up the pot area, and make sure the orchids are In orchid soil that is airy. The pots also should have holes for my air as well

0 likesI have collected all my mom's orchids as my dad has dumped them into the garage - they lived there for months with very low light and barely any water, so they do survive very well! All they need is some TLC. Just cut off the dried stems and place it in indirect light, somewhere not too hot or they will bake. They like occasional sun draping through the curtains and something like +18°. Water them when they are bone dry by submerging them into a container with water, let them sit for 10 mins until it's absorbed into the chunky soil, take the pot out and let it drain for a minute, then place them back into their spot for another week or two (depending on the season!). They come back with flowers every year!
