How to grow Phalaenopsis? A step-by-step guide to growing the queen of orchids into a full, blooming display
More and more people enjoy growing flowers, and Phalaenopsis (moth orchid) is deeply loved by everyone. To help the Phalaenopsis you bought bloom in a full display, today the editor will introduce the care methods for Phalaenopsis. Phalaenopsis prefers a growing environment with high temperatures and high humidity, cannot tolerate direct sunlight, and is also afraid of the cold.
Phalaenopsis must be grown in a flowerpot with good drainage. In addition, when repotting Phalaenopsis, be careful to choose its growing season for repotting. This is generally done when new leaves have grown for about 5 months. During the first month after repotting, the medium must be kept moist. This month is very critical, so you must take careful care and grow it with caution.
You should also pay attention to watering Phalaenopsis. During the flowering stage, use drip irrigation to water. When watering, prevent water from splashing and wetting the leaves, especially in winter, because if they get wet, the leaves will rot. If you accidentally splash them wet, use something to blot them dry. Generally, as the temperature drops, you can reduce the amount of water given to the flowers. So, has everyone learned how to do this?
