Some gardeners freeze liquid fertilizer instead of regular water. This helps the orchid get more nutrients and bloom faster.

In addition, the following tips can help orchids bloom:

  • Make sure the orchid gets enough light.
  • Feed the flower with liquid fertilizer once a month.
  • Repot the plant in a new pot every two to three years.
