Throw Phalaenopsis after blooming? Teach you how to keep it open every winter.

I don't know if there are flower friends and flowers, as long as a flower market, will inevitably be attracted by Phalaenopsis, but because of the notoriously difficult to raise, we all regard it as a one-time potted plant, flower failure and it said goodbye. Actually? As long as we have reasonable maintenance, the compound flower is definitely not a dream!

Select hole flowerpot

About the choice of Phalaenopsis flowerpot, the first one is introduced to everyone is plastic pot, here is recommended to everyone is set pot oh! The basin inside is made of transparent plastic, with holes around the basin bottom.

The outer cover pot is a plastic pot without holes at the bottom, but pay attention to punching holes in the side wall of the flower pot, and the height of the holes is flush with the bottom of the inner pot.

The second kind is the red pottery basin that our novice orchid is most familiar with, which is very suitable for matching with water moss.

We need to pay attention to when choosing to use red pottery pots, but also choose the kind of flower pots with many holes in the bottom and wall of the pots, and the newly bought flower pots should be removed from the fire, soaked in water for 1 night before use.

How to grow Phalaenopsis?

Plant material we can choose bark, moss, snake wood, coconut chaff, ceramsite, fine brick stones and so on, for the northern flower friends, the air is relatively dry, flowers recommended to use moss conservation Phalaenopsis oh!

Before using moss, soak it in hot water and wring it out for later use. Before putting on the pot, fill the root pocket of Phalaenopsis with moss, put a drain cover in the middle, and then wrap the moss outside the root.

Phalaenopsis will be gently pressed into the pot, and then fill it with small wire moss, do not plug too tight, 8 into tightness on the line, plug good, the top layer of moss can be covered.

Daily maintenance

1. Light

In the maintenance of Phalaenopsis, to scatter light as well, we can feel the intensity of the sun with our hands, sun on the back of the hand soft but not stimulating, touch the leaves, and there is no fever on the line.

Now that autumn has arrived, we need to slowly increase the light until winter, gradually adjusting to full sunlight. However, due to different local environments, the lighting should be handled as appropriate.

2. Temperature and humidity

Phalaenopsis in the growth period of the best temperature control between 20~30℃, it is higher than 35℃ or lower than 18℃ will stop growing.

The humidity is best kept at 75%~80%, if it is during the period of slow seedling, higher air humidity may be required, we can humidify by spraying water and using a humidifier.

3. Moisture

Watering, usually often weigh its weight, feel lighter; touch the moss at the bottom of the pot, or directly insert your hand into the moss, feel dry and then water.

If it is maintained with bark, it has poor water retention, so it should be watered more frequently than moss.

4. Ventilation

No matter what kind of plant, at home want to maintain good, pay attention to a lot of ventilation. Poor ventilation potted plants not only grow poorly, but also cause plant rot and cause various diseases and insect pests.

5. Fertilization

We can apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer from 2 weeks after flower failure; phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied when promoting flowers, and light should be increased until the flower buds grow to the size of peanut kernels.

What to do after losing?

For the Phalaenopsis we bought back, after enjoying its beauty and flower failure, we should cut off the flower buds in time to reduce the consumption of plants and store nutrients for the next flowering.
