# Does anyone know if I need to do something specific to this orchid in…

_Posted by bea on 2025-05-14_

Does anyone know if I need to do something specific to this orchid in order for flowers to bloom? Since I’ve gotten it with flowers I haven’t had flowers since, but I’ve had new leaves grow very big so health wise it’s good.  
Thank you!

I have 4 orchids. I wouldn’t recommend trimming back to the unopened nodes PlantswithKrystal has some great videos.

I have 1 orchid that has rebloomed and 1 that won’t grow a new spike but is shooting out new roots like crazy.

From my understanding, when they are in optimal conditions (water, fertilizer, light) they will bloom.

I love Krystal!!!! Her advice is so on point.

Keep in mind OP, that orchids have a dormant period. This is their growth period for them to establish more roots and foliage and in your plants case… grow a new spike. Your plant seems to have been very busy and likely is taking its time restoring and growing itself.
