How to raise butterfly orchids, breeding methods and matters needing attention of Phalaenopsis

Culture methods of Phalaenopsis

1. The temperature is suitable

In order to understand how to raise butterfly orchids, what we need to understand is that Phalaenopsis is a tropical plant. They like the warm growing environment and are afraid of the cold, so the temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees in winter, otherwise Phalaenopsis will stop growing and could die.

2. Soil selection

Potted Phalaenopsis should be noted that Phalaenopsis is actually an epiphytic plant, so it is not possible to provide it with simple soil when potted, and it is very important to provide Phalaenopsis with bark, broken bricks, moss and other substrates.

3. Growth environment

Generally speaking, Phalaenopsis likes a well-ventilated environment, so we must not put Phalaenopsis in a poorly ventilated place for a long time, which will cause Phalaenopsis to wither and the growing environment of Phalaenopsis must be ventilated. Winter is the dormant period of Phalaenopsis, so we can ignore the problem of ventilation for the time being, but if friends from the north are breeding indoors, we should still consider the problem of ventilation, otherwise there will be excessive growth or drooping leaves, so in how to raise Phalaenopsis, the growth environment is also very important.

4. Watering the right amount

In the breeding methods and matters needing attention of Phalaenopsis, watering is also fastidious. Tap water or well water can not be watered too much. Judging by the fact that a small amount of water flows from the bottom hole of the basin, rotting roots will occur if too much water is watered. And the frequency of watering Phalaenopsis should be determined according to its growth and season. In winter, you must wait until the water temperature is the same as room temperature before watering. The watering time is preferably in the morning.

5. Flowerpot selection

In fact, the selection of containers for Phalaenopsis is also a very important step in how to raise Phalaenopsis. First of all, we do not advocate the use of plastic pots, because the air permeability of plastic basins is very poor, and if stagnant water in the basin will lead to rotten roots of Phalaenopsis, it is best for Phalaenopsis containers to be breathable, because Phalaenopsis grows through air roots.
