Across France, Phalaenopsis orchids remain stubbornly green due to a lack of blooms. A specialist from My Flowers points out three common mistakes to correct this year.
IN BRIEF:
Expert Igor Podyablonskiy of My Flowers explains why so many indoor Phalaenopsis orchids refuse to rebloom despite careful attention.

An adjusted seasonal routine, a few avoided mistakes, and a better choice of pot could transform these supposedly temperamental plants into orchids covered in flowers.
