And finally, there comes the moment of flowering. The maintenance of a diet with alternating seasons allows the renewal of activity of the meristem and regular flowering.
Yet in the case of Phalaenopsis, if the temperature inside the greenhouse rises above 50 degrees, the inflorescence produces floral buds that can give the keiki and plant development is dominant!
More often orchids come to form flowers, but due to the absence of pollinators in greenhouses (or elsewhere), they remain without fruit.
