Don't look for magic potion for breeding Phalaenopsis anymore. Scientific breeding can make it bloom more beautiful.

Phalaenopsis plants draw long pedicels from leaf axils and blossom like butterflies, which are loved by flower friends. However, most flower friends do not know how to maintain Phalaenopsis, and some flower friends dare to try. All ended in failure. Today, let's talk about how Phalaenopsis.

1. How to cultivate Phalaenopsis scientifically

First of all, flower friends should understand one thing, that is, biological growth must follow a law, flowers must rely on maintenance, the process of growing flowers is the communication between people and flowers, through the careful observation of flower friends, listen to the needs of flowers.

2. How to choose Phalaenopsis

An orchid in full bloom requires a long wait. It takes several years for an orchid to blossom. I believe no one can afford to wait, so when selecting, we must choose mature plants. Generally mature plant roots are relatively healthy. Choose the kind of butterfly orchid with sturdy and straight stems and positive glossy leaves. The flowering period of such butterfly orchids will be longer and easier to maintain.

3. How to raise Phalaenopsis?

The root system of Phalaenopsis is aerial. Everyone must know that it can not only preserve part of the water, but also absorb water in the air. There is a requirement for aerial root to be breathable. Therefore, the soil of Phalaenopsis culture needs air permeability and water conservation. It is best to use a mixture of coarse, fine, large and small media.

4. How to apply fertilizer to Phalaenopsis

The growth of plants is the same as that of human beings, they all need nutrition in order to thrive. By replenishing Phalaenopsis regularly, its flowering period can be longer, because each flowering needs to consume a lot of energy. At this time, fertilizing during the growth period is particularly important for traditional Chinese medicine to ensure the nutrient reserves of the root system and flower stems and lay the foundation for flowering. The fertilizer needed by Phalaenopsis is mainly water-soluble nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, the concentration of fertilizer should not be too high, family maintenance should stop watering during flowering and bud stage.

5. Light requirements of Phalaenopsis

All flowering plants need light, and Phalaenopsis is no exception, but Phalaenopsis is very afraid of sunlight, so it needs astigmatism maintenance, preferably refracted light.

6. When will Phalaenopsis be watered

The watering of Phalaenopsis is relatively different, do not water according to the prescribed time, because the amount of watering and the interval of time are closely related to the soil and the environment, as long as you can ensure that the root is slightly moist and not waterlogged. It should be noted that large pots of Phalaenopsis usually dry more slowly than individual plants, so don't water too much each time, but one plant at a time.

7. How to deal with the rotten roots of Phalaenopsis

In fact, the root rot symptom of Phalaenopsis is easy to distinguish, that is, the leaves will obviously be killed for lack of water. This is because the roots are broken and unable to provide water to the leaves. Many people will mistakenly think that they are short of water and water more frequently. In fact, at this time, we should stop watering and let the roots recover and grow new roots.

Phalaenopsis growth environment temperature will be more strict, the temperature can not be lower than 10 degrees, especially in winter, it is best to avoid being damaged by the cold wind, after flowering, do not forget to cut off the bud, otherwise it will take away the nutrition, not conducive to secondary flowering.
