Have you ever had that experience? Some flowers make you feel as if you have been enchanted the moment you glance at them, making them impossible to forget! That is exactly what the color-rich Phalaenopsis is like. However, although the flowers are beautiful, there are many things to pay attention to when it comes to care, such as the issue that you should not always change the orchid's placement position.


Why is it said that when growing orchids, you can always change the position? Because quite a few flower lovers, in order to cater to the light, will keep moving the potted plants, and here it becomes easy to run into the situation where the flower stalk is accidentally knocked and broken. At the same time, orchid roots are very sensitive. If the temperature fluctuates too much all the time, the plant will also become less and less spirited.

If during daily moving of the potted plant you really do accidentally crack the flower stalk a little bit, and the state is that the stem has not completely separated from the flower, then there is no need to worry too much. At this time, you only need to wrap the broken area with a tissue, then secure it with a small clip, and the flower will still open normally later. However, in daily care you should also pay attention to avoiding breakage of the Phalaenopsis flower stalk.

So in daily care, what humidity does Phalaenopsis like? What suggestions are there for care? First of all, in terms of care, everyone should give priority to a ventilated spot with humidity between 50%-80%, and try not to move the placement position much. At the same time, it should not be placed in strong wind or scorching sunlight, to prevent sudden temperature changes that make the plant grow poorly. As for the four seasons, in winter it needs to be kept warm, while in summer it needs appropriate ventilation and cooling.

Next, besides humidity and paying attention to light and ventilation, watering and fertilizing are indispensable actions for orchids. For watering, remember "better dry than wet," and absolutely do not water too much out of restlessness. After each watering, pour out the accumulated water at the bottom of the flowerpot, otherwise the roots will stay soaked in water and are very likely to rot. As for fertilizing, go buy some fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium, and regularly irrigate with it diluted, so that the flower stalk can grow sturdier and is not easy to break.

 

Finally, Phalaenopsis is prone to pests. For pests and diseases such as thrips, scale insects, and red spider mites, just look more often at the plant and petals when you have nothing else to do. If you find insects, immediately think of a way to treat them. Only in this way can the flower stalk grow smoothly, and the flowers also bloom beautifully.
