How to care for Phalaenopsis orchids during the flowering period? Master these care methods

Phalaenopsis orchids are very popular flowers. When many flower lovers buy them, the orchids are already blooming or about to bloom, but many people do not know how to care for Phalaenopsis orchids when they are in bloom. Below are several points to note for Phalaenopsis orchid care during the flowering period.

1. Strictly control water during the flowering period: When Phalaenopsis orchids are blooming, the plants are generally in a dormant or semi-dormant state. Do not water them; water must be strictly controlled, otherwise the roots may rot and the flowering period of the Phalaenopsis may be shortened. When the plant is especially dry, you can spray a little water, but the water must not wet the flowers, otherwise they will wither early.

2. Do not fertilize during the flowering period.

3. Temperature: If the temperature is above 15 degrees, preferably above 18 degrees, normal care can be given. Phalaenopsis roots do not like waterlogged conditions and prefer high air humidity. Water only after the medium has dried out completely, and do not water too much. It originally grows on tree trunks, and its roots are aerial roots that can absorb water and nutrients from the humid air.

4. Light: Do not expose it to strong sunlight; a bright, warm, and relatively ventilated indoor spot is fine.

5. Pruning: After flowering, cut off the flower stalk (some flower lovers suggest not cutting the flower stalk).
