If you plant flowers in summer, choose Phalaenopsis flowers in beautiful and easy bowls.

The flowers are beautiful and exquisite, implying nobility and elegance. Yes, I am talking about the Phalaenopsis, which is known as the queen of foreign orchids. As an ornamental plant that we are very familiar with, it often appears in our living room, so the question is, how can we grow a healthy and beautiful Phalaenopsis? Are there any tips or other tips? if you want to know the answer, you might as well look for it in the following article.

Generally speaking, Phalaenopsis does not have high requirements for soil, slightly acidic or slightly alkaline soil can ensure its good growth, as long as some large particles of coarse sand are added to the garden soil and two pieces of broken tiles are placed at the bottom. In this way, the culture soil has both water permeability and air permeability. of course, if you want to make Phalaenopsis grow more prosperous, you can put a little base fertilizer on the bottom of the basin soil, with fertility support, Phalaenopsis will grow better.

Watering is the second important issue that Phalaenopsis needs to pay attention to. Some flower friends say that "flowers are all watered to death, and few die of drought." Phalaenopsis especially, water is easy to rot roots. But how to grasp it is more difficult. The more scientific advice we give here is that tap water can be used for watering, but it is best to rest all day in order to filter out the chlorine. The new roots of Phalaenopsis should be watered more in the prosperous period and less in the dormant period after anthesis. In spring and autumn, the plants are watered once every afternoon, and the plants grow vigorously in summer, watering every morning and evening, respectively, with weak light and low temperature in winter, and watering every other week is enough.

Phalaenopsis grows very fast, which means that it needs to change pots frequently, especially in summer. Phalaenopsis needs to change the basin in the case of dry soil to press the original matrix, and the aging, necrotic roots will be cut off, and then reproduced into some new matrix. After changing the basin, it is best to pour permeable water first, and then apply fertilizer after the water is fully absorbed by the roots of the plant. Remember not to do both at the same time, which may lead to root burning.

The temperature range suitable for the growth of Phalaenopsis is 18 to 30 degrees, below 15 degrees is easy to freeze, and above 33 degrees is easy to enter semi-dormant state. Whether it is low temperature or high temperature, it is extremely disadvantageous to the growth of Phalaenopsis, so make sure that the temperature of your home is suitable for the growth of Phalaenopsis.

One of the reasons why Phalaenopsis causes some diseases and insect pests is that the environment is not ventilated enough. Common diseases are: virus disease, soft rot and so on. Carbendazim, chlorothalonil and other drugs can be used for prevention and treatment. The common diseases and insect pests are: scale insects, red spiders and so on. After these diseases and insect pests are found, they can be used: omethoate, lime powder and so on. After paying attention to these diseases and insect pests, Phalaenopsis will naturally look very good.
