How to fertilize and water Phalaenopsis? Master the best fertilizer use and the degree of "dry-wet" watering

If you want to add a flexible atmosphere at home, the simplest way is, of course, to grow plants. Therefore, according to incomplete statistics, most people like to keep plants on the balcony, so they can look beautiful indoors and also improve air quality. Among the many flowers, many people choose the miniature Phalaenopsis; they are like "mini elves," and after blooming they can burst out as many as 20+ flower buds, really making your heart bloom with joy when you see them.

If you want to grow Phalaenopsis well, what cannot be missing here is experience. Based on years of experience growing orchids, I have summarized a few tips for growing Phalaenopsis. First, you can refer to the methods flower farmers use to care for Phalaenopsis. The first is fertilizer. Before the Phalaenopsis flower spike has emerged, it is suggested that flower lovers can spray it with phosphorus fertilizer. Why use phosphorus fertilizer?

This is like laying a foundation for the Phalaenopsis, allowing it to grow flower spikes better later on. Later, after the flower spike emerges, and once the first flower bud is as big as a grain of rice, switch the fertilizer to nitrogen-potassium fertilizer, because nitrogen can make the flower stalk grow tall, and potassium can make the flower stalk thick and sturdy, so the flowers that bloom are more beautiful and more vigorous.

Next is watering. This is knowledge you must have for growing Phalaenopsis. When should you water, how much water should you give, and how do you water scientifically? It is suggested here that the medium should not be too dry, because if it is dry, the Phalaenopsis will be thirsty and will not grow well, but it should not be too wet either, because too wet makes it easy for the roots to rot.

The correct approach is to respond to the condition of the medium. If you usually cannot judge it, you can feel it directly with your hand. As long as you find that it is not dry, you can water it thoroughly. At the same time, if the ambient temperature around you is less than 10 degrees, you may have to wait until winter is over and buy it in warm spring before watering again.

Finally, after watering is done well, light also needs to be matched properly. Phalaenopsis does not like shady places, nor does it like places that are too sunny. It needs to be placed in a place with plenty of scattered light, and it must never be exposed to fierce sunlight. As long as you master these key points well, the Phalaenopsis you grow will definitely grow especially well!
