Culture methods and matters needing attention of Phalaenopsis

Phalaenopsis is an important holiday flower, many flower friends are raising Phalaenopsis for the first time, this Phalaenopsis breeding method and matters needing attention is more a comprehensive breeding guide, if flower friends need other details, you can read the relevant articles below.

Phalaenopsis originated in tropical Asia, the origin of high temperature and humidity, like heat, humid and semi-shady environment, the suitable temperature for growth is 25-28 ℃ during the day and 10-20 ℃ at night. When the summer temperature is higher than 35 ℃ or the winter temperature is below 0 ℃, the growth of Phalaenopsis stops. If the low temperature continues, the roots stop absorbing water, resulting in a physiological lack of water, and the plant will die. However, the flower bud differentiation of Phalaenopsis does not need high temperature, and the suitable temperature is 16-18 ℃.

Phalaenopsis likes the environment with high humidity, because there is no stout pseudo-corm to store moisture, if the air humidity is small, it is easy to lose water. Therefore, the cultivation of Phalaenopsis is most afraid of dry air and dry wind.

The above paragraph is the basic information of Phalaenopsis. Let's talk about the breeding method of Phalaenopsis from the point of view of actual culture.

Because Phalaenopsis exists mostly as festive flowers, when flower friends buy them, they all come out of the greenhouse, so flower friends must pay attention to the ambient temperature and do not water and change pots as soon as they get home.

Buy a home to put Phalaenopsis in a warm environment for maintenance, give appropriate light, spray more water, less watering.

Flower friends need to pay attention to that Phalaenopsis is epiphytic orchid, its roots can carry out photosynthesis, so most of the Phalaenopsis in the greenhouse are planted in transparent plastic pots, the roots are on the outside, you can see the light, so flower friends must not think of changing a high-end pot, bury all the roots in the soil, this is wrong. Phalaenopsis needs to expose its roots properly.

1. Watering too frequently: friends who cultivate Phalaenopsis are always worried about the lack of water, regardless of whether the cultivation medium is dry or not, watering every day, resulting in serious root rot.

2. The temperature is too low: usually the flowering plants of Phalaenopsis are on the market in early spring, and they are generally appreciated in the living room after buying them home. Although the daily temperature in these places is enough, the night temperature is a little too low. On the other hand, most of the professionally cultivated orchids are in well-equipped greenhouses, in contrast, the temperature and humidity at home are not enough, so the growth of the plant tends to weaken day by day. Therefore, sometimes, no matter how well maintained, orchids still do not blossom.

3. Excessive fertilization: apply fertilizer as soon as there is fertilizer, and do not pay attention to the concentration, thinking that if you apply fertilizer, you 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.

4. Small plants grow large pots: feel that using large pots 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.
