Reasons Why Phalaenopsis Does Not Grow After Pruning and the Correct Pruning Method
Many people find that after pruning their Phalaenopsis, the plant refuses to grow for a long time, and the expected new shoots and reblooming never appear. What exactly causes a Phalaenopsis to stop growing after pruning? And how should it be pruned correctly? Reasons why Phalaenopsis does not grow after pruning: Improper pruning timing: The growth and dormancy of Phalaenopsis follow a certain pattern. If pruned during its dormant period, the plant's physiological activity is low, its ability to heal wounds and sprout new shoots is weak, and growth stagnation easily occurs. For example, pruning in a low-temperature winter environment means the Phalaenopsis grows slowly and may show no new growth for a long time. In addition, right after the flowering period ends, the plant has consumed a large amount of nutrients; pruning immediately at this time without giving it time to recover its strength will also affect subsequent growth.
