Phalaenopsis cultivation skills and precautions

These ten methods and precautions for maintaining phalaenopsis are practical and simple.

The growth substrate of phalaenopsis must be well-drained and have some water-retaining properties. Commonly used substrates are moss, fern roots, bark, charcoal, ceramsite, etc.

Repotting should be carried out in the summer of the growing season, by first pouring out the plants, removing the old cultivation medium, and cutting off the aging and rotting aerial roots, and then putting a layer of charcoal grains at the bottom of the new pot, and then putting in the plants, filling in the new substrate, compacting and watering through.

The repotting time should depend on the cultivation medium. The moss substrate will rot in 1 2 years, and when it decays, it secretes extremely acidic substances that can harm the aerial roots. If it is not replaced in time, it will lead to root rot.

Therefore, use moss or bark as a substrate and change the pot once in 1 2 years of cultivation;Cultivated with coconut shells, it can be repotted 1 time in 2 to 3 years;Cultivation with ceramsite or charcoal can be repotted once in 3 to 5 years. However, frequent and thin fertilisers should be applied to compensate for the absence or lack of nutrients in these substrates.

The method and precautions for phalaenopsis cultivation are that temperature and humidity must be the most important, because this is more difficult to raise.

Phalaenopsis cultivation methods:1. In order to avoid the phenomenon of Phalaenopsis root rot, be sure to water it appropriately. Never pour too much water.

Before watering, it is best to see if the cultivation medium is dry. so as not to cause root rot.

Many people like to place phalaenopsis in their living room. The temperature at night is relatively low, can not be controlled, compared with the professional orchid breeding room, the temperature and humidity of the living room are not very perfect, which will indirectly affect the growth of orchids.

2. Temperature: If it can be guaranteed temperature, it can grow better, and the most suitable temperature for its growth is between 16-30. The temperature required for its growth is relatively high, so the minimum temperature should be above 15 when it is usually raised.

3. Watering: The method of watering it is also relatively simple, watering it thoroughly, and then watering it when it is dry. If it's summer, you need to water a little more, and the temperature is high, and it evaporates quickly.

1. Before watering, you can see whether the bottom of the pot is damp, and if it is wet, you can not water it first.
