Phalaenopsis can't be raised with soil. The planting cup bought from the market is filled with some moss. It can fix the root of the plant in the planting cup so that it can be stable. Air rooting can get water and nutrients from the air, so it can't be raised with ordinary soil.
Phalaenopsis on the light requirements are relatively low, it can not be placed in direct sunlight, generally speaking, maintenance needs to cover 50% to 60% of the light, so that it can grow normally, so in the family can put it in the scattered light.
Phalaenopsis has a high temperature requirement. The temperature range is about 15-28 degrees. If it is lower than 10 degrees, it will behave badly. For example, the color will become dim. If it is lower than 5 degrees, it will suffer from frost damage. If it is higher than 32 degrees, it will grow badly.
In the growth period, the air humidity is required to be high enough, but in its planting basin and water moss, as long as it is kept slightly moist, it is not necessary to water too much, if the water moss is too stagnant, it will cause root rot.
Phalaenopsis on fertilizer requirements are more fine, like fat but do not like thick fat, it is recommended to buy special fertilizer Phalaenopsis in maintenance
Phalaenopsis's flowering period is relatively long, the overall flowering period can reach 5-6 months, so pay attention to constant temperature, constant humidity and proper ventilation during maintenance, so that its flowering period can be extended as much as possible.
After flowering, its arrow can be cut short. It has a characteristic of its dormant bud. There is a dormant bud at the bottom of the scale of the arrow. When the dormant bud germinates, it will bloom again, which can greatly extend the flowering period. The florescence of Phalaenopsis is related to the size of its flower pattern. Generally speaking, the florescence of larger flowers is shorter, and that of small flowers and waxy petals is longer.
