Phalaenopsis watering
The key to cultivating Phalaenopsis lies in the supply of water. The suitable environment for Phalaenopsis root system should have the following points:
Warm (15-30 ℃); moderately moist and ventilated; weakly acidic pH value; refreshing fertilizer; sunshine (Phalaenopsis with some deciduous or leafless roots for photosynthesis).
Phalaenopsis in the wild, by the root climbing on the trunk or rock, leaves and flower stems drooping, upside down growth. Abundant Rain Water keeps the roots from feeling too dry. in fact, the roots of Phalaenopsis are not afraid of water and moisture. So why do we often have rotten roots when we cultivate Phalaenopsis in flowerpots? It turns out that it is not afraid of dampness, but that the air flow is not good, the environment in the basin is more stuffy, and the oxygen content decreases. In this depressed environment, Langen and its symbiotic fungi will rot due to respiratory failure and waste accumulation. The best way to solve this problem is to control the humidity in the basin so that Langen and fungi can not only breathe in the periodic dry-wet cycle, but also give the roots enough water to drink.
Phalaenopsis began to sprout at 15 ℃ and grew slowly. It grew fastest at 20-30 ℃, more than 30 ℃, and entered a high-temperature semi-dormant state. It needs a lot of water when it grows fastest, so it must have an adequate supply.
The water supply of flowers is an indescribable skill, because there are too many factors, but it is necessary to grasp the key to solve the problem. The root of the watering technique lies in the degree to which the matrix in the basin is dry before it needs watering. It is most appropriate for Phalaenopsis to be fully irrigated when the substrate is nearly dry. How to judge the state of being nearly fully dry? By touching the water moss on the surface of the basin, the water content can be judged by the hardness of the water moss.
After each full watering, the water moss will go through the following changes in turn.
Fully wet: dark color, easy to get out of water with a pinch of hand, indicating high water content
Semi-dry: the color is dark, squeeze hard to get a little moisture out, indicating that the water content is just right, at this time the maximum water absorption of Langen
Almost completely dry: the color is light, the water moss is soft but can not make water, indicating that the water content is low and it is almost in need of watering.
Full dry: the color is white and crisp, indicating that the water content is too low and needs to be watered as soon as possible.
Grasp this water cycle, grasp the key to the cultivation of Phalaenopsis, with the control of other environmental conditions, I believe you will be able to let Phalaenopsis bloom beautiful!

Watering method of Phalaenopsis
Phalaenopsis is a uniaxial orchid without a pseudobulb that can store water. Instead, it preserves water with strong fleshy roots and succulent leaves. Because the succulent leaves and succulent air roots of Phalaenopsis are very fragile, potted plants are easy to rot if Rain Water is drenched or watered too much. Therefore, proper watering is the key to ensure its normal growth. The correct watering method is: watering should try to avoid splashing wet leaves, especially in winter, the most likely to cause rotten leaves. Water should be watered once a day during the growing season in spring and summer.

Four reasons for the failure of Phalaenopsis family cultivation
1. Watering too frequently: friends who cultivate Phalaenopsis are always worried about the lack of water, regardless of whether the cultivation medium is dry or not, watering every day, resulting in serious root rot. 2. The temperature is too low: usually the flowering plants of Phalaenopsis are on the market in early spring, and they are generally appreciated in the living room after buying them home. Although the daily temperature in these places is enough, the night temperature is a little too low. On the other hand, most of the professionally cultivated orchids are in well-equipped greenhouses. By contrast, the temperature and humidity at home are not enough, so the plants tend to grow.
