How do you grow Phalaenopsis seedlings so they grow fast? Detailed explanation of fertilizer mixing methods

I believe Phalaenopsis is a favorite of many flower growers, because it has so many varieties that they make your eyes dazzle, such as Golden Princess, Green Bear, and others. Moreover, no matter the variety, once the flowers bloom they are like dancing butterflies, very interesting. Another reason many people like it is of course that the flowering period is long enough. Generally speaking, even non-professionals can grow it for more than 2 months, and experienced flower enthusiasts may be able to make it bloom in all four seasons.

Usually beginners who grow flowers may like to choose small seedlings, because they are cheap enough, and if they fail to grow them well later and they die, it will not hurt too much. So, what should be done to let baby seedlings grow up quickly?

First, about temperature. Orchids like temperatures between 22°C and 30°C. If you want the growth speed of small seedlings to speed up, then of course you have to grasp the golden temperature. Therefore, it can also be seen that the season orchids like is spring, and beginner flower enthusiasts buying in this season is very suitable. There is no need to worry that the temperature is wrong, and it is also just right to let the small seedlings get through the period when they are hardest to grow. If you buy in autumn or winter, and the temperature is not suitable, the small seedlings will find it hard to grow well.

Second, light is also very important. The place where small seedlings are grown should preferably have scattered light, with the light level controlled below 10,000 lux. It cannot be direct light. You can find an east-facing position right next to a window. If you can only use a south windowsill, then you can let them get some sun in the morning, but from noon onward you must quickly shade them.

Next, let us talk about the growing medium. This is also key to small seedlings growing fast. It is recommended to mix pure sphagnum moss with granular growing medium. If you want to use bark, then choose small granules with a high degree of decomposition. For routine watering, it should be watered thoroughly and also dry quickly. The faster the wet-dry cycle, the faster the small seedlings will grow.

Fertilizer is also indispensable for growing flowers and plants, and the same goes for small seedlings, but because the root system is not fully mature, when using Huaduoduo you should follow a ratio of 1:4000, and after watering, water with clear water two or three more times. Finally, there is the choice of flower pot. Never choose a large flower pot for small seedlings. It only needs to be 2 to 3 cm larger than its original nutrient cup. A small flower pot allows a fast wet-dry cycle, which is especially helpful for small seedlings to take root and grow.
