Culture method of Phalaenopsis

Phalaenopsis is a kind of orchid flower, and it is also a common ornamental flower in our country. The ornamental value of Phalaenopsis is very high, and the breeding method is also very simple. It can absorb nutrients in the air and survive. Therefore, it is the first choice for many people to cultivate flowers, and now there are many breeding bases for Phalaenopsis in our country. So how to cultivate Phalaenopsis? The following editor has brought you the breeding methods of Phalaenopsis. Let's have a look!

1. Matrix selection

Phalaenopsis is different from other flowers in that it cannot be cultivated in soil. Phalaenopsis grows mainly on rocks or trees in the wild, and nutrient absorption depends on water and nutrients in the air. Therefore, Phalaenopsis can be cultivated with highly permeable materials, mainly moss, broken tiles and bark. Phalaenopsis will climb and grow on the substrate on its own. it should be noted that the seedlings cannot be placed directly on the ground, but should be hung up to promote the air root growth of Phalaenopsis and improve its ornamental value.

2. Temperature management

Temperature is very important for the growth of Phalaenopsis. In the process of culture, the temperature should be controlled at about 20-25 degrees. The maximum temperature can not exceed 30 degrees, if the temperature exceeds 30 degrees in summer. Then it is necessary to do a good job in the ventilation of the garden and cool down to prevent the excessive temperature from causing the butterfly orchid flowers to wither and reduce the ornamental value. And the temperature should not be too low, in autumn and winter and other seasons to control the temperature above 15 degrees. Prevent Phalaenopsis from freezing injury caused by too low temperature, affecting the growth of Phalaenopsis, light will reduce the ornamental value, serious will lead to death.

3. Timely watering

Although Phalaenopsis can absorb water from the air, it will also be of great help to the growth of Phalaenopsis if it can be properly watered during culture. We should water thoroughly when watering, but it should not be too high, because the air root water absorption capacity of Phalaenopsis is very strong. If too much water, it will cause Phalaenopsis can not breathe and suffocate to death. Therefore, when we are watering, we should mainly sprinkle with small water, and when watering, we should avoid leaving water on the growing point of the leaves. Prevent excessive time to cause mildew, causing diseases and insect pests, and then spray around Phalaenopsis every day to improve air humidity.

4. Pest control

There are often some problems in Phalaenopsis culture, among which diseases and insect pests are one of them. The common diseases and insect pests of Phalaenopsis are soft rot, soot, shell insects and so on. In the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests of Phalaenopsis, we mainly focus on prevention, strengthen daily management and do a good job of drainage and irrigation. Improve the permeability of the garden, pay attention to the density between each plant, not too dense. Then it is necessary to control the temperature and humidity to prevent high temperature and humidity from providing conditions for the onset of diseases and insect pests. Then regularly spray disinfectant to reduce the number of diseases and insect pests in the garden. If there is a disease phenomenon, it is necessary to timely check what the specific diseases and insect pests are, and then deal with them accordingly.

The above is a brief introduction to the breeding methods of Phalaenopsis. After the attack of Phalaenopsis, we must first check what it is, can not use drugs blindly, avoid causing drug damage, not only can not be effectively treated, but also further harm the growth of Phalaenopsis.
