Farmer orchids inspire with a particularly long flowering period
The long flowering period of the farmer's orchid
Farmer's orchids are enjoying increasing popularity, not least because of their long flowering period. From spring to late summer they develop many colorful flowers.
The first flowering period ends in June. After that, significantly fewer flowers will develop - unless you cut back the farmer's orchid vigorously now.
By cutting back, you encourage the development of new shoots on which more flowers will form. The plant then has more energy available for new inflorescences.
