Phalaenopsis originated in the tropics, like the environment of high temperature and humidity. Phalaenopsis in the flower market grew up in the environment of high temperature and humidity in the shed, so the temperature of Phalaenopsis taken home should be kept between 15-27, especially the sudden cooling weather in the evening. Don't let Phalaenopsis stay in the environment of lower than 13 ℃ for too long, especially when it's just bought home
Note: although to ensure the temperature, but must not put Phalaenopsis in the radiator or air conditioning near the air outlet, otherwise it is easy to roast Phalaenopsis.
Phalaenopsis in the origin is mostly long in the trunk, roots exposed in the air, from the air to absorb water, and we now see Phalaenopsis roots are buried in the soil, ventilation is very poor, so once there is too much water in the soil, Phalaenopsis is very easy to rot.
Therefore, when watering the Phalaenopsis, you should follow the principle of "wet and dry". When touching the surface of the soil, you can dry and turn white, and then you can water it. If you use the Phalaenopsis planted with water moss, you can water it 1-2 times a month. Pour it thoroughly until the bottom of the basin flows. In winter, it is suitable to water at a warm noon, keep the water temperature close to the room temperature.
In addition, the north is relatively dry indoors. When watering, you can use water spray kettle to spray humidity on the leaves and surrounding areas, but be careful not to spray flowers onto the flowers, otherwise the flowers will be rotten.
Phalaenopsis is fond of fertilizer. Fertilization is needed all year round unless the temperature is lower than 10 ℃ or higher than 32 ℃.
In autumn and winter, when phalaenopsis is in bud or flowering stage, it is better to apply light P and K fertilizer instead of N fertilizer. Flower friends can use Phalaenopsis special fertilizer or potassium dihydrogen phosphate every 2-3 weeks. Spray foliage or soil according to the ratio of fertilizer: water = 1:1500 or 1:2000. The best time for fertilization is in the afternoon after watering.
Spring and summer is the growth period of Phalaenopsis, can apply thin compound fertilizer (mainly nitrogen and phosphorus) every 7-10 days, organic fertilizer is better.
It's better not to use pure soil to raise Phalaenopsis. In the north, the air is dry and windy. In the south, the air humidity is relatively high. It can be planted with bark or bark + water moss + bluestone
Note: pure water moss has a strong water holding capacity. Do not pour too much water, or it will easily rot.
Although Phalaenopsis is more shade tolerant, but also to receive appropriate light to grow vigorously, especially before and after flowering Phalaenopsis, must receive sufficient light, but not direct sunlight.
And the Phalaenopsis after flowering should reduce the light, need to be placed in the living room light astigmatism environment to maintain, not only to extend the flowering period, but also to make the flowers big and colorful.
Phalaenopsis for ventilation also has quite high requirements, the family of Phalaenopsis generally to often ventilation, to prevent the occurrence of pests.
It will take about 2 years for Phalaenopsis to bloom from the young seedling. After the Spring Festival, you can cut off the arrow from the base, reduce the nutrient consumption, and supplement the compound fertilizer in time.
Some Phalaenopsis can bloom again in summer, but if the cultivation is not in place, it's better to cut off the flowers and arrows in summer, otherwise it will easily affect the next year's flowering.
Here are the family maintenance skills of Phalaenopsis.
