What red is the heart of the Phalaenopsis Tianlai flower, and is it a large flower or a small flower?

Who wouldn't love being praised with phrases like "voice of nature" and "beauty of nature"? Today let's talk about the Phalaenopsis "Tianlai".

First of all, after the "Tianlai" blooms, its looks give people a kind of aloof, understated beauty. The whole petal has a white base color, and around the column in the middle there are irregular markings and spots. The spots lean toward rose red, and they look very lively. Then, after the petals open they show a veined sheet, feeling thin and fresh to the touch. Finally, its lip is a big tongue, shaped like a spoon cupping inward. A single flower opens about 7 cm wide, so it belongs to the small-flower type, and a single plant has about 7~12 buds in total.

So how do you grow the fully elegant "Tianlai" well at home? Actually, Phalaenopsis is a plant that blooms very easily, and friends who have grown it should deeply understand this. To grow "Tianlai" well, you need to understand its basic habits. First, it is not tolerant of sun exposure, so never put it directly on the balcony to sun it, because harsh sun easily causes large areas of yellowing and withered leaves. Also do not put it in a bathroom or bedroom that lacks light for a long time, because doing so easily causes the Phalaenopsis to grow slowly and struggle to bloom. It is recommended to place it in a spot with warm, soft, diffused light that can pass through, and flower lovers can place it as close to a window as possible, not directly facing the window, but to the left or right of the window.

Then how should you water it? The Phalaenopsis's requirement for water is to never give too much. If you take overly good care of it, and the sphagnum moss itself dries slowly, it easily causes the inner fleshy white roots to rot. Therefore, it is recommended to water by observing the state of the sphagnum moss. You can press the sphagnum moss with your hand and feel its moisture. If it is wet and soggy, then no matter how many days pass you must not water it. If it feels very dry, then you can safely water it.

Finally, for the soil requirement, sphagnum moss is generally used for planting, because its root system has a climbing nature and needs soil with a climbing feel for planting. In addition, you can also use special orchid soil. This special soil is a substrate made of a combination of large-particle media, with the characteristics of being loose and breathable, and it is also suitable for planting Phalaenopsis.
