Methods for ventilating and caring for Phalaenopsis orchids and precautions for sunbathing through glass

Growing flowers can cultivate the mind and nature, and also pass the time. Many retired workers have taken up a trowel and devoted themselves to planting. In recent years, because Phalaenopsis has become an indispensable main flower for the New Year flower market, it can be seen on many people's balconies. For flower growers, growing Phalaenopsis well requires not only patience, but also good coordination of environmental temperature, ventilation and other factors, otherwise even if it blooms, the flowering period will not last long.

So, in daily care, how can you judge whether the ventilation at a placement spot is good? Whether the scattered light is sufficient?

Growing flowers and plants is inseparable from "light." As for the Phalaenopsis variety, although it loves light, it is also afraid of light, so when growing it, it should be placed in a spot with scattered light. If the intensity is not well controlled at the placement spot, the consequence may be sunburned leaves, causing flower buds to wither before they open.

So, how should the light angle be understood? Just observe the angle at which the light comes in. If the light can softly fall on the plant instead of directly and strongly scorching the leaves, then this kind of light is just right. In addition, if some flower lovers can only place it outside on a balcony, it is best to also add a shade net or blinds to adjust the light and prevent it from being exposed to the sun. If it is placed indoors and there is no place where it can receive scattered light, do not worry, you can use LED lights or fluorescent lights to help supplement the light that Phalaenopsis needs for growth.

After light is taken care of, good ventilation is also needed at the same time, and this point is especially important for its growth. Because some flower lovers put orchids in places that are stuffy and damp, as a result, the leaves and roots all become diseased together, or pests and diseases are attracted. If placed in a well-ventilated spot, during daily watering, even if its leaves get wet, the moisture can be blown away as quickly as possible, reducing the breeding of pathogens, thus naturally avoiding more chances of disease.

So how do you know whether the ventilation conditions are good? When choosing an environment, you can reach out your hand to feel whether there is a gentle breeze blowing around. If you cannot really feel it, there is also a little trick: light a moxa stick and see how the smoke drifts. If the smoke can drift smoothly, it means the ventilation is good.
