2. Vernalization: If the cultured orchids need Vernalized varieties, such as spring orchid, cold orchid, cymbidium, etc., should be placed in an environment of about 10℃ for vernalization before they bloom. The time of vernalization depends on the environment where vernalization is carried out and the orchid species grown, but it generally takes about 1 month.
