Rescuing Phalaenopsis Chaoqun 2180 from Root Rot and Its Winter Daily Care

Today let's take a proper look at Phalaenopsis Chaoqun 2180.

Phalaenopsis Chaoqun 2180 is a pink big-lip variety, with soft pink flowers and thick, substantial petals.The flower shape is lovely and the flowers are medium-sized; whether you place it in the living room or the bedroom, it instantly becomes the focal point and makes the whole space feel warm and cozy.

The blooming period of Phalaenopsis Chaoqun 2180 is quite impressive. Generally speaking, with proper care it can bloom for 3 - 4 months.

Planting method:

1. Substrate choice: you can use moss, bark and the like as the substrate; loose, airy and well-draining is the key.

2. Pot selection: don't choose a pot that is too large; one just a little bigger than the plant's root system is fine. The bottom of the pot must have drainage holes, so that excess water can flow out and the roots won't be soaked and rot.

3. Planting steps: moisten the substrate slightly, then put it into the pot. Next, place the Phalaenopsis in, then gently cover the roots with substrate; be careful not to bury it too deep, and leave the stem slightly exposed.

Rescuing root rot:If your Phalaenopsis accidentally gets root rot, don't panic. First take the Phalaenopsis out of the pot, then rinse the roots clean with water. Use clean scissors to cut off the rotted parts, then leave it in a cool, ventilated place to dry, and replant it in fresh substrate. At this point water it less, and wait for it to slowly recover.

Winter daily care:

1. Temperature: Phalaenopsis Chaoqun 2180 likes warmth, so don't let it get cold in winter. The indoor temperature is best kept at around 15 - 20°C.

2. Light: although it needs light, winter sunlight can sometimes be quite strong, so don't let it sit in direct blazing sun. You can put it somewhere with diffused light, for example by a window with a sheer curtain drawn, and that light will be just right.

3. Watering: in winter water evaporates slowly, so water less. Feel the substrate with your hand; if it feels a bit dry, water a little. When watering, don't pour water on the leaves and flowers, or they will easily rot. You can water slowly along the edge of the pot and let the water seep down.

4. Humidity: Phalaenopsis likes a humid environment, and indoor air in winter is relatively dry, so you can mist a little water around it, or use a humidifier to raise the humidity, so it can spend the winter comfortably.
