Cambria orchid does not bloom

Temperature fluctuations get the bloom going - this is how it works

In the middle of its growth and flowering period, a Cambria orchid feels at home in a bright location with temperatures between 23 and 25 degrees Celsius. If the plant remains at normal room temperatures at the end of the flowering period, the next flowering will usually not take place. In order to encourage the unwilling tropical plant for another blooming spectacle, it should be exposed to fluctuating temperatures. How to do it right:

• Place a non-flowering Cambria overnight in a location with 12 to 15 degrees Celsius
• During the day in the usual, bright place with normal room warmth maintain
• Ideally place on the sunny balcony between the end of May and the beginning of September

As long as the mercury column does not fall below 10 degrees Celsius and does not exceed 25 degrees during the day, fluctuations in this area have a beneficial effect on the willingness to flower.

Increased humidity attracts the flowers

All orchids find low humidity unfavorable and hold back the flowers to be on the safe side. In this regard, the Cambria orchid is no exception. If the proud flower does not bloom after experiencing the recommended temperature fluctuations, the air is too dry for it. The following options are available to remedy the deficiency:

• In winter, place bowls filled with water on the radiators
• Place a humidifier in close proximity to the Cambria orchid
• Spray the leaves and aerial roots daily with soft water

On the other hand, you water the listless orchid less, as increased humidity allows the substrate to dry out more slowly. Only at the beginning of the next flowering period will the plant be watered or dipped more frequently again.
