Orchid Life Cycle at Life

Orchid Life Cycle. Repot orchids regularly, once every two or three years, to prevent disease. So, with the right care and attention, you can expect to keep your orchid for at least a few decades.

Orchids have a cycle of life. That said, there are some threats to the plant that will halt its growth or even kill it. It is not uncommon for an orchid plant to live beyond one hundred years or more.

This, however, is only one of many flowering periods in an orchid’s life cycle. Plants have a natural immune system, and over time it becomes worn down by natural bacteria and fungi. Vanilla bean orchid (vanilla plantifolia) is often known simply as vanilla because the seed pods from this plant are the source of the natural vanilla flavoring used widely in desserts and beverages.while it's a challenge to coax this plant into flowering and producing the seeds from which vanilla is harvested, the glossy green vine is an attractive plant on its own. During the course of their evolution, they have had to adapt to constant change and many different environments and, as a result, have had to find their own “solutions” to each new challenge in order to survive in unfavourable positions.
