Key points for the daily care of Phalaenopsis Aalborg:

2.Temperature: The suitable growing temperature is 18°C - 28°C. In summer, when it exceeds 32°C, increase ventilation and mist to cool it down; in winter, when it drops below 10°C, keep it warm promptly to prevent cold damage.

3.Water: The fleshy aerial roots are sensitive to water, so follow the principle of "water when dry, stop when wet." Insert a finger 2 - 3cm into the potting medium and water when it feels dry. Use soft water and pour along the edge of the pot until water flows out from the bottom. Keep the air humidity at 60% - 80%; you can mist or place a water tray to increase humidity.

1.Fertilizing: During the peak growing season, apply a diluted orchid liquid fertilizer 1 - 2times a month, and add extra phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before the flowering period. Fertilize in the evening and water with clean water the next morning to prevent root burn.

2.Potting medium: Use a breathable, well-draining medium such as moss or bark chunks. Replace the medium every 1 - 2years in spring after the flowers fade.

3.Pest and disease control: Maintain good ventilation and check regularly. For soft rot and anthracnose, use carbendazim and similar products; for spider mites, use abamectin; for scale insects, spray with Huhuashen.
