Second, if the Phalaenopsis plant is much smaller than the utensils, you need other things to fix the plants. you can choose a planting basket suitable for the size of the utensils in the shop, or you can use small tools at home to fix them, such as iron wire or bamboo branches. choose branches of appropriate thickness to circle and weave upward from the root of the plant, and then hook and fix them on the mouth of the utensils, and the surrounding route will be more casual. There is no specific method of wrapping.

First, temperature. The temperature is relatively low in winter, so it is necessary to control the humidity in the air. If the roots of the plant have grown in the water, it is easy to have rotten roots at low temperatures.

Second, clean up. After keeping the water for a period of time, you will find moss growing on the walls and roots of the utensils, so clean it regularly.
