Reveal the maintenance methods of Phalaenopsis to create beautiful Phalaenopsis

Phalaenopsis belongs to the genus Phalaenopsis of Orchidaceae, perennial evergreen epiphytic herbaceous flowers. Because its flowers are shaped like butterflies and have butterfly-like beauty, they are named Phalaenopsis. There are many varieties of Phalaenopsis, the flower shape and color are varied, the flower posture is very beautiful, and it is deeply loved by people. Therefore, it is the most widely cultivated orchid in the world. So, how should Phalaenopsis be maintained?

1. Lighting

Although Phalaenopsis prefers shade, it is still necessary to make the orchid plant accept part of the light, especially before and after flowering, the appropriate light can promote Phalaenopsis flowering, so that the flowers are gorgeous and lasting, generally should be placed indoors where there is scattered light, do not let direct sunlight; if placed on the indoor windowsill, cover part of the sun with window screens.

2. Soil

Materials such as pine needles, peanut shells, bark silk and clay balls can be selected as the substrate for breeding Phalaenopsis. Phalaenopsis has higher requirements for soil, which needs air permeability, decay resistance, micro-acid and water permeability. If you can't configure these materials, you can buy orchid for Phalaenopsis directly at the flower market. (PS: you can choose plastic or ceramic pots for Phalaenopsis planting. Considering that Phalaenopsis likes the breathable growing environment, it is recommended to choose porous shallow pots, the height of which is less than the diameter of the pots.)

3. Temperature

The culture temperature of Phalaenopsis cultivated indoors is fastidious. It is best to control the temperature before 25-28 degrees during the day and 18-20 degrees at night. When the summer temperature is higher than 32 degrees, Phalaenopsis will directly enter the semi-dormant state, so it is necessary to prevent high temperatures. When the temperature is low, the growth of Phalaenopsis will be resisted. When the temperature is 15 degrees, the growth of Phalaenopsis is directly stagnant. When it is lower than 15 degrees, the root system will stop absorbing water, which will cause black spots on the leaves.

Phalaenopsis is delicate, choosing a ventilated environment will be more conducive to its growth, and the muggy environment is not suitable for breeding Phalaenopsis. Especially in summer in the south, we should pay attention to shading Phalaenopsis. Phalaenopsis is an epiphytic orchid with a sexual preference for semi-yin. The temperature is low in winter, so it should be ventilated at noon, but the tuyere should not be blown directly to the orchid plant. In spring and autumn, we should pay attention to protect orchids from light.

4. Watering

High humidity is a favorite of Phalaenopsis, but stagnant water is by no means. Phalaenopsis should be avoided from being short of water, especially during its growth. Once the frequent occurrence of water shortage will cause the leaves yellowing, and it is difficult to recover. Usually, Phalaenopsis can be watered with a spray can. Water can flow down the bottom of the basin, but avoid watering too much water. Because Phalaenopsis likes high humidity, it can often be sprinkled in the place where the orchid is placed to maintain the humidity around the orchid. But you must be careful not to let water accumulate in the heart of the orchid leaves, and do not sprinkle water on the leaves in winter.

Watering principle: see dry and wet, and water again when the surface of the cultivation substrate becomes dry. Generally, watering should be carried out in a sunny morning, and the water temperature should be close to room temperature. When the indoor air is dry, the sprayer can be used to spray directly to the leaf surface. But be careful not to spray water on the flowers during the flowering period.

5. Fertilization

The principle of fertilization should be less fertilization and light fertilizer. Because it grows faster and its growth period is longer.

Fertilizer month note: Phalaenopsis planted for one year or many years will change pots every year in late spring and early summer (May). Phalaenopsis which has just changed pots is in the recovery stage and there is no need to fertilize the orchid plants. After a month of recovery, the orchid plant began to grow normally. That is to say, from June to September, the orchid plant enters the growth period and needs to be fertilized once a week.

Suitable fertilizers for Phalaenopsis: foliar fertilizer, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, farm fertilizer fermented with water, special fertilizer for orchids, etc. During the growing period, Phalaenopsis can be fertilized alternately with foliar fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. If there are no these two kinds of fertilizer, you can choose to add water to ferment farm manure to irrigate fertilizer water. If there is special fertilizer for orchids at home, the special fertilizer for orchids should be applied directly.

Matters needing attention for fertilization in spring and summer: the temperature in summer is high, so we should stop fertilizing orchid plants. In autumn, the growth rate of Phalaenopsis begins to cool down, and the number of fertilizers should be reduced. At this time, if frequent fertilization to the orchid plant will affect the formation of flower buds, it will be difficult to bloom.
