It is a typical flowering plant, which gets its name because its flowers resemble butterflies, so it is loved by more people. Phalaenopsis is in full bloom around the Chinese Lunar New year, so it is also an important popular flower of the year.

Because Phalaenopsis has special habits, demanding planting conditions and expensive prices, many florists are always prohibitive to Phalaenopsis when choosing flowers. Why doesn't Phalaenopsis blossom? What is the reason why Phalaenopsis withered buds or did not bloom?

[expert answers]

Soil reason: Phalaenopsis likes acidity, and the best pH value of soil is 4.5 to 5.5, so we should pay special attention to mastering soil pH in daily management, otherwise it will affect the absorption of water and nutrients in roots because the soil is alkaline, resulting in poor growth and non-flowering.

Temperature reason: the suitable temperature for the growth of Phalaenopsis is 23 to 28 degrees Celsius. Only by keeping this temperature can it blossom well.

Light reason: if the light is too weak, the growth of Phalaenopsis will be abnormal, often with more leaf buds and fewer flower buds.

Reason for ventilation: Phalaenopsis is easy to get sick when placed in a place with poor ventilation, especially at the flowering stage, the top of the stem is easy to wither, causing buds to wither and yellow, affecting flowering, and even blooming flowers are easy to decay early.

Fertilization reason: excessive fertilization is easy to cause Phalaenopsis flower bud early fall. Nitrogen fertilizer can be applied in vegetative growth period, but in reproductive growth period, nitrogen fertilizer should be stopped and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied to promote budding and flowering.

Watering reasons: insufficient watering, but also easy to cause leaves withered and yellow, affecting flower bud differentiation and flowering.

[editor's summary]

Phalaenopsis is a kind of flowering plant, and its ornamental value mainly lies in flowers, but sometimes artificially cultivated Phalaenopsis does not bloom, so many people must want to know the reasons why they do not bloom. The first Agricultural Classic editor sorted out for you, "Why doesn't Phalaenopsis blossom? The article "the reason why artificial Phalaenopsis does not bloom in winter and spring" hopes to be helpful to you.

Why Phalaenopsis doesn't blossom? it doesn't blossom for five reasons.

Flower friends who have raised Phalaenopsis know that generally Phalaenopsis should be carefully maintained for about 2 years before it will blossom, but some flower friends encounter that Phalaenopsis does not blossom, so why Phalaenopsis does not blossom? here are five reasons why Phalaenopsis does not bloom.

Analysis on the reasons for the non-flowering of Phalaenopsis 1. Unreasonable watering

Usually when watering, if the water splashes to the base flower center of the Phalaenopsis leaves, it will cause the rot of the leaf base because of the stagnant water, which will lead to the abnormal growth of Phalaenopsis plants, which will also affect the flowering of Phalaenopsis. It is suggested that when spraying water to Phalaenopsis, spray on the leaf surface to prevent accidental spraying to the growing point. In addition, when the flower buds of Phalaenopsis are formed, it is necessary to stop spraying water to the flowers to avoid falling buds.

2. Excessive illumination

If the conservation environment is exposed to excessive strong light and insufficient water supply, it will lead to wilting and yellowing of Phalaenopsis leaves, which is disadvantageous to the differentiation of flower buds and will directly affect the flowering of Phalaenopsis.

3. Unreasonable fertilization

If the flower friends apply too much nitrogen and lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, it will also inhibit the differentiation of flower buds, resulting in no flowering or less flowering. If the concentration of fertilizer is too high, especially after the formation of flower buds, it is easy to make the buds wither. If alkaline water and fertilizer is applied for a long time, it will hinder the root system to absorb water and nutrients, making it difficult for Phalaenopsis to bloom.

4. The temperature is inappropriate

Raising Phalaenopsis, if the temperature is not controlled well, will also hinder the normal development of the plant and hinder the growth of flower buds, resulting in Phalaenopsis can not bloom. Phalaenopsis is suitable to be cultivated in a high temperature environment, even if there are buds sprouting, if the indoor temperature is too low, it will make the buds withered and early fall, which can not meet the requirements of flowering.

5. Lack of ventilation

During the flowering period of Phalaenopsis, flower friends pay special attention to the ventilated environment. If the air circulation in the environment is not smooth, it is easy to make the top of the flower stem wither and wither, and the buds will fall, which will naturally cause Phalaenopsis not to blossom.
