Pruning and flowering of white orchids

The reason why white orchids don't bloom
White orchids don't bloom because of insufficient light. At this time, plants need to be moved to a place with sufficient scattered light for maintenance. Lack of nutrients will also make the white orchid unable to bloom, so phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied frequently during the flower bud formation period and before flowering. Soil discomfort will also hinder the blooming of white orchids, so it is necessary to replace the new soil in time.
