Family Culture methods of Phalaenopsis

In fact, the method of family culture of Phalaenopsis is not complicated. as long as it is properly maintained, Phalaenopsis can be raised for several years, not necessarily thrown away at that year. This article is a flower friend from Phalaenopsis pot, medium selection, fertilization, watering and other aspects to talk about their experience in protecting Phalaenopsis.

First of all, plant Phalaenopsis flowerpots, to choose a certain depth. The root of Phalaenopsis is very similar to the root of Phalaenopsis, and it is very fleshy. I think it is appropriate to match the flowerpot with Phalaenopsis according to the length of its flower root. The basin does not have to be very large, but a basin with a certain depth can fully stretch the flower roots of Phalaenopsis, and there is also a place for root growth to facilitate the absorption of nutrients.

Secondly, the selection of plant materials. After the newly purchased Phalaenopsis is used to its own environment for two days, it is generally necessary to change the plant material and put it on the pot. Phalaenopsis is an epiphytic orchid, which can be planted with breathable water moss. Generally, the nutritional value of water moss for more than a year is not high, at this time, it can be replaced. Remove the old water moss and trim the residual roots of Phalaenopsis. When possible, soak the roots of Phalaenopsis with carbendazim in aqueous solution to sterilize and disinfect it. Then, put on the new water moss and put on the basin.

Third, the necessary fertilization. At first, I chose to fertilize Phalaenopsis with a few drops of Phalaenopsis special liquid fertilizer in the water every time I watered it, but the effect was not obvious. Later, I simply gave up this special fertilizer and directly used "potassium dihydrogen phosphate" for other flowers in my family as the nutritional fertilizer of Phalaenopsis, and the effect showed immediately. With the increase of trace elements such as phosphorus and potassium, the flowers and arrows extracted by Phalaenopsis are strong and powerful. there are many flowers on the flower branches and the flowering period is long. a flower arrow blooms for a few months, and butterflies appreciate it every day.

Finally, let's talk about watering Phalaenopsis. Butterfly orchids have strong roots, and too much moisture is undoubtedly catastrophic and will lead to rotting roots. In general, two points can be mastered in watering: when the plant water moss of Phalaenopsis becomes dry and the bottom of the moss is also dry, it can be watered; if you are not sure, you can pinch the leaves of Phalaenopsis with your hands. At this time, it must be a soft feeling, so start watering decisively. Put a little "potassium dihydrogen phosphate" fertilizer in the water, then either soak the basin or repeatedly irrigate the water moss in the butterfly orchid basin until all the water moss has eaten enough water. Usually, you can spray water on the leaves of Phalaenopsis, especially in the hot summer. Of course, in midsummer, we should pay attention to proper shading and ventilation for Phalaenopsis. Generally speaking, there are few common diseases and insect pests in Phalaenopsis. However, in the case of poor ventilation, we do not rule out the occurrence of diseases and insect pests, which should be paid special attention in summer.
