How to raise Phalaenopsis (good to raise it) Phalaenopsis cultivation methods and precautions

Phalaenopsis is a very beautiful and generous flower plant, most people who have seen Phalaenopsis have the impulse to take them home to plant, but people are very rational animals, even if they like not to take good care of them, it is a kind of harm to each other, so whether Phalaenopsis can be cultivated is a question that everyone wants to know.

How to raise Phalaenopsis

1. Temperature

Phalaenopsis originates in the tropics and likes the environment of high temperature and humidity. Phalaenopsis in the flower market grows up in the environment of high temperature and humidity in the greenhouse, so the temperature of Phalaenopsis taken home had better be between 15 and 27, especially when you buy it home. Pay special attention to the sudden cooling weather at night. Don't let Phalaenopsis stay in an environment below 13 degrees for too long, especially when you just buy it home.

2. Moisture

In the place of origin, Phalaenopsis is mostly grown on tree trunks, its roots are exposed in the air and absorbs water from the air, but the Phalaenopsis roots we see now are buried in the soil, and their ventilation is much worse, so once there is too much water in the soil, Phalaenopsis is easy to rot. Therefore: water Phalaenopsis to follow dry and wet, touch the soil surface dry and white and then water it, water Phalaenopsis with water moss 1-2 times a month. Pour it thoroughly until the bottom of the basin runs water. Watering in winter is suitable in the warmer noon to keep the water temperature close to room temperature. In addition, the northern indoor is relatively dry, watering can by the way to the leaf and around the spray to increase humidity, but pay attention not to spray water on the flowers, otherwise the flowers will be heartbroken.

3. Fertilization

Phalaenopsis likes fertilizer and needs fertilization all year round, unless the temperature is lower than 10 degrees or higher than 32 degrees into dormancy. In autumn and winter, Phalaenopsis should be fertilized with light phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, but not nitrogen fertilizer. Flower friends can use Phalaenopsis special fertilizer or potassium dihydrogen phosphate every 2-3 weeks, according to the ratio of fertilizer: water = 1: 15, 500 or 1: 2, spraying foliage, or soil surface, the best fertilization time is in the afternoon after watering. Spring and summer is the growing period of Phalaenopsis, thin compound fertilizer (mainly nitrogen and phosphorus) can be applied every 7-10 days, and organic fertilizer is better.

From the above culture methods, it can be seen that Phalaenopsis is a kind of plant which is not very difficult to cultivate, as long as it can be raised better according to the method.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Phalaenopsis

1. Soil

1. Phalaenopsis has high requirements for soil, and the soil suitable for growth needs to be breathable, rot-resistant and slightly acidic.

2. You can choose to use pine needles, peanut shells, bark silk and clay balls as soil matrix, or you can go directly to the flower market to buy special Phalaenopsis culture soil.

II. Ventilation

Phalaenopsis also needs flowing fresh air to ensure normal growth, so make sure that the cultivation environment is well ventilated.

Matters needing attention

1. Some friends are always worried about the lack of water in Phalaenopsis, regardless of whether the cultivation medium is dry or not, watering every day, resulting in serious root rot. Although water is the source of life, it can be puffy if you soak in it all day.

2. Some friends apply fertilizer as soon as they have it, and do not pay attention to the concentration. They think that if they apply fertilizer, they will grow faster. It should be noted that Phalaenopsis should be fertilized with thin fertilizer, a small amount of fertilizer for many times. Keep in mind that "replenishment" should not be excessive, or it will be counterproductive.

3. Some friends think that using a large basin can give Phalaenopsis a relaxed environment and sufficient materials. In fact, after using a large basin, the water plant is not easy to dry, it is important to know that Phalaenopsis likes ventilation, ventilation is comfortable.

When will Phalaenopsis blossom

Generally speaking, Phalaenopsis does not blossom until it is cultured for 3 years. Phalaenopsis blossoms once or twice a year, the florescence is usually around the Spring Festival, and the viewing period can be as long as 2 to 3 months.

When the flowers wither, the withered flowers should be cut off as soon as possible, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients. Cut the flower stem from 4 to 5 nodes at the base, and blossom again after 2 to 3 months. But in a domestic environment, flowers can only blossom once a year.

Growth habits of Phalaenopsis

Phalaenopsis is native to the tropical rain forest and likes to grow in a warm climate and is not hardy. The most suitable temperature for growth is about 15-20 ℃. Growth will stop when it is lower than 10 ℃ in winter, and death can be caused by less than 5 ℃.

Phalaenopsis has a physiological structure to protect itself from stress in low humidity environment, but it is easy to cause diseases in too humid and high temperature environment, so it is necessary to maintain appropriate humidity for Phalaenopsis to grow healthily.

Although Phalaenopsis gives people a very weak feeling from its name, the real Phalaenopsis is not weak, and it is not very picky about many elements in the living environment. We only need to master some basic principles when we plant Phalaenopsis.
