How to Care for Phalaenopsis Before Blooming

First, change the basin and choose the soil

When you buy Phalaenopsis, the store owner will tell you that it needs to be changed every year. If you don't change the pot, the root may rot. So how to choose the basin and how to choose the soil?

1. Selection of basin

Phalaenopsis is a very expensive flower, flowerpots must be selected, pottery pots can also be used plastic, but must be porous, and shallow pots, the height can not be greater than the diameter of the bottom.

2. Soil selection

Phalaenopsis is a mature plant in the flower market. There is special soil for breeding in the soil. If you want to save trouble, you can buy it directly. If you want to be more perfect, you can also configure the soil yourself: first collect a piece of pine needles, peanut bark, bark silk, charcoal and other high-organic grass ash chemical fertilizer, which can be configured separately or mixed. These can probably meet the needs of Phalaenopsis before flowering.

Second, temperature control

The temperature of Phalaenopsis must be controlled before flowering. It is originally a tropical plant. It can be imagined that it needs a higher temperature, preferably 25 ℃-28 ℃ during the day, 18 ℃ at night, and 20 degrees Celsius at best. It is very sensitive to temperature, for a long time below 15 ℃, the roots no longer absorb water, without water, it is difficult to sustain life, let alone blossom. Especially in the northern region, the climate is changeable and the indoor temperature is unstable, so we must pay attention to keeping warm at night.

Third, watering

In tropical coastal areas, the climate is very humid and Rain Water is abundant. Phalaenopsis, as a local plant, also likes the humid environment very much, so it should not be short of water, especially before flowering, it should be sprinkled frequently, but pay attention to the amount of water sprinkled. Stagnant water must not be produced in the roots.

IV. Fertilization

Phalaenopsis grows very fast before flowering and needs a lot of nutrition, so it is necessary to apply more fertilizer, preferably once a week. In the choice of fertilizer, it is best to contain more nutrients. The editor also mentioned earlier that the cultivation technology of Phalaenopsis is very mature, and if it will not be equipped with fertilizer, you can also buy fertilizer specifically for this period.
