How can I promote my orchid spikes?

There are a few things you can do to promote orchid spikes: 

• Make sure your orchid gets plenty of light; it should be in a spot where it will receive direct sun for at least six hours a day. 
• Water your orchid regularly, but don’t overwater it; the roots should be moist, not sit in water for days on end. 
• Fertilize your orchid with a balanced fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season. 
• Keep the temperature around your orchid consistent; sudden changes can stress the plant and cause it to drop its buds.
