How to deal with butterfly orchids after thanks

1, pruning

When the phalaenopsis blooms, pruning can be done to help it bloom again or to help it grow healthier. If you want to help it bloom again, you need to cut off 4-5 nodes from the base of its flower stem. If you want it to grow healthier, you need to cut off all of its flower stems from the base.

2. Root repair and soil replacement

If the plant has been growing for many years, remove it from the pot after it has bloomed and check the roots for rot and blackening. If so, they need to be cut off so as not to remain on the plant and consume nutrients.

After cutting the roots, it can be replanted with new soil and new pots to ensure that there are enough nutrients in the soil for it to grow.

3. Post-maintenance

For plants that have been pruned and replaced, they cannot be cultured according to usual methods and need special care. For plants that have changed pot soil, it is necessary to suspend fertilization, then control watering, keep the soil slightly wet, and never pour too much water to avoid damaging its roots. It is best to put it in a place with better ventilation conditions, so that it can recover better.
