Making orchids re-bloom faster and better requires careful steps and planning to ensure these plants flowers much stronger than the last time!

orchids are among the easiest to re-bloom. They blossom one a year but with proper care and maintenance (cutting the flower spike above a node where a new spike can emerge, encouraging further blooms), you can make them flower again.Cattleya orchids are also easy when it comes to making them re-bloom as long as they get good light exposure and slight temperature drop at night.
For Dendrobium orchids, reducing the watering a tad bit in their rest period (After they have flowered for the first time) can trick them into blooming again.
Avoid re-potting the orchids immediately after buying them, as it can cause the flowers to drop prematurely. Similarly, do not re-pot them after they have flowered.
The best time to re-pot them is when the last flower drops. It is the time when most species start their active growth phase, beginning to put on new roots, and foliage in planning for the next bloom.
It is necessary to snip off old and dead spikes before the plant goes into its dormancy period (Often often occurs in the fall and can go for 6-8 months). It helps the plant to preserve more of its nutrients and energy.
When the plant has finished blooming, make sure it gets plenty of humidity – you can either use a humidifier or keep its pot on a pebbled tray filled with water.
If you have multiple orchids, group them together to create a micro-climate and mist their leaves once a day.
