Many beginner flower lovers ask, is the Phalaenopsis Yellow Robe easy to grow? Actually, as long as you master the method, it is not hard at all; it counts as medium difficulty in terms of care. Below, I will share the secrets for how to grow multiple flower spikes.

Light: The Phalaenopsis Yellow Robe likes bright, indirect light, so never let strong direct light hit it, or the leaves can easily get sunburned. You can place it near a window but somewhere the sunlight does not shine directly, and make sure it gets 4 - 6hours of light per day. That way photosynthesis is sufficient, the plant is stronger, and flower spikes are more likely to emerge.

Watering: Follow the principle of "water when dry, and water thoroughly when you do," roughly once every 7 - 10days, depending on the actual situation. Insert your finger 2 - 3cm into the potting medium, and water again when it feels dry. When watering, water thoroughly so excess water flows out from the bottom of the pot; never let water accumulate, or root rot will be a real problem.

Temperature: Its suitable growing temperature is 18 - 28°C. In winter, do not let it go below 15°C, or growth will be affected; in summer, do not let it go above 32°C, and pay attention to ventilation and cooling during high temperatures. The right temperature lets it better develop flower spikes.

Fertilizing: If you want many flower spikes, fertilizing is crucial. During the peak growing season, apply a diluted orchid-specific fertilizer once every 1 - 2weeks, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can promote flower bud differentiation. You can also use slow-release fertilizer; the nutrients release slowly but last a long time, making it simple and convenient.

Pruning: After the flowers fade, promptly cut off the spent flowers to reduce nutrient consumption. If there are yellow or dead leaves at the base, cut them off as well, so the plant can concentrate more nutrients on the growth of new flower spikes.

If you care for it according to these methods, the Phalaenopsis Yellow Robe will easily burst with flower spikes and be stunningly beautiful! Give it a try~
