Is the White Swan Phalaenopsis beautiful? Just look at its characteristics and you will know

White gives people the impression of pure innocence, and white flowers in particular make people fall in love with them uncontrollably! Today the editor will talk about the purest white one among Phalaenopsis orchids, the "White Swan".

In terms of appearance, it can be considered the most harmonious type among Phalaenopsis orchids, because the flowers on its flowering branches and main stem are the neatest, and a single plant generally has about 17 flowers, while the petal color is a very pure white, with only a little yellow on the central pollen mass, but this is unavoidable, because all Phalaenopsis orchids have a pollen mass on this part of the nose.

In addition, it has many characteristics. The "White Swan" has a very long flowering period of about 4~5 months. White flowers are generally not easily troubled by pests and diseases. Most practically, it can be bought in the flower market for generally within 25 yuan, so it can be described as tough, good-looking, and because white has strong plasticity, you can draw something on its petals, or dye it, and so on. Therefore, the editor especially recommends that beginners get one for themselves!

What should beginners pay attention to in the daily care of Phalaenopsis orchids? First is the lighting issue for Phalaenopsis. You should know that its native growing environment is epiphytic on tree trunks in jungles, so its lighting requirements are not strong. It is best to use soft, scattered light for care, and placing it indoors is very suitable.
The next key point is the soil substrate. Generally speaking, flower growers use substrates such as sphagnum moss, fern roots, bark, charcoal, ceramsite, and so on, because Phalaenopsis is an epiphytic plant, and its root system is thick and fleshy, and it itself has the ability to store water, so you cannot use highly absorbent garden soil to plant it.

Although Phalaenopsis itself has a certain ability to retain water, this does not mean it is not afraid of dryness. Therefore, when it comes to watering, you should spray water on its leaves every few days, or spray water around its flowers. Doing so can increase the humidity in the air.
Finally, temperature is also key when growing Phalaenopsis. It likes a growing environment within 20-25 degrees Celsius. In summer, it is best to place it in a cool and ventilated place, because once the temperature exceeds 28 degrees, its flowers will wither very quickly. In winter care, do not open windows for ventilation, and once the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius, it should be moved back indoors for care. Have you learned it?
