Does having more buds mean an orchid will last longer?

-
Which orchids can last longer?
Generally, all our flowers can last up to 1 (ONE) month, while some promotional flowers can last up to 3 (THREE) weeks. However, smaller flowers need more light to keep them blooming. Also, bear in mind that Doritaenopsis (DTPS) orchids are more sensitive to light, so they will also need more light to make them last longer.
-
Why do you sell promotional plants and Doritaenopsis plants?
Promotional plants are used for short term events or seasons. As for Doritaenopsis( DTPS), these are usually meant for table top arrangements.
-

-
Why is the leaves of my orchids yellow?
This depends on the location of the leaf.
Located in lower tier - These naturally become yellow as new leaves grow.
Located in upper tier – If these leaves become yellow, it’s because of too much sunlight, too little water or poor ventilation.
-
Can your orchids flower again?
Yes, they can after 6 (SIX) months. Normally our plants will flower twice a year. To help make this happen, you’ll need to:
- Cut the plant and leave 1 inch of the stem.
- Put the plant outside under the shade, away from direct sunlight.
- Water the plant once a week.
- Use fertiliser to make it grow.

How do I use the fertiliser?
Follow these steps to make proper use of the fertilizer:
- Apply fertilizer No. 1 for 4 months, on a weekly basis. Press 5 times after watering. Fertiliser No. 1 is used to strengthen the roots and leaves.
- After the plant is grown, change to fertilizer No. 2 to make it flower.

Why do you use sphagnum moss?
There are variety of grades for sphagnum moss, the best grade is AAA. Which we are using, because it has more neutral PH. Which can last longer and contains more water.
