During the late winter to the early months of spring is where the spectacular display of Phalaenopsis orchids bloom can be witnessed. The blooming flowers of Phalaenopsis orchids can be seen only once a year, and the blooming season is entirely dependent on various factors such as the specific variety and its growing environment. Although, with proper handling and care, some Phalaenopsis orchids can bloom multiple times a year. After the blooming season, Phalaenopsis orchids will enter a phase called active growth phase. This phase is when the orchid grows new leaves, roots, and even flower spikes. This phase can last a couple of months, usually from spring after the blooming season up to the early months of summer. And lastly, after the growth phase, Phalaenopsis orchids enter the resting period. This is where the growth slows down, and new spikes or blooms will not appear.
