Bloom life of a bamboo orchid

The average life span of an individual bamboo orchid bloom is only a few days to a week. That is short compared to other orchids where blooms will last from weeks to months. The moth and cymbidium orchids both have blooms that can last for months on the orchid plant. The bamboo orchid on the other hand has a short bloom life but it makes up for it in having multiple blooms over the course of several weeks. Its short bloom life in the main reason why the bamboo orchid is not commercially grown for its flowers.
