Orchids only grow leaves without blooming? It's because your care method is wrong
Orchid is the general term for plants in the Orchidaceae family; Dendrobium, Cattleya, Phalaenopsis and Cymbidium goeringii all belong to the orchid family. Orchids represent elegance and purity, and for thousands of years many poets have praised orchids, so there are also a great many people who grow orchids. But growing orchids well is a very difficult thing. Very often the orchid's leaves have already grown lush, yet it simply will not bloom. Actually it is not that you cared for it poorly, but that the growing method is wrong.
Fertilizing
When fertilizing orchids, you should apply thin fertilizer frequently; in the morning or at dusk, spray organic nutrient solution on its leaves, which is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Dilute it as much as possible; do not fear it being too thin, only fear it being too concentrated. You can mix it with 1000 times its amount of water and use it once every 2 weeks. Before fertilizing, you must first water the orchid; once the orchid's leaves are no longer dripping, you can fertilize.

Pay attention to environmental changes
Although orchids do not have high requirements for their environment, they are very sensitive to environmental changes. Even a tiny change will affect their growth. So do not move them back and forth, and do not pick them up to look at them this way and that.

Flower removal
For orchids that grow poorly, with few leaves per clump, or with poor roots, flower removal should be carried out. For better varieties, Cymbidium goeringii can appropriately have 1-2 flower buds removed; for summer orchids, when the flower buds elongate, keep 1-2 buds and remove the rest; this way the flowers can bloom longer, more new leaves can sprout, and the old leaves are also less likely to wither and die.

For precious Cymbidium goeringii, the flowers should be removed after 3-5 days of blooming, so that the leaf buds grow strong; for summer orchids, when the flower has opened to the topmost one, it can also be cut off at cm from the pot surface.
Growing orchids is "three parts planting, seven parts care", so you must be meticulous.
