What do you need to pay attention to when raising phalaenopsis?

For the daily maintenance of phalaenopsis, we need to pay attention to the following three points: the first is the selection of flower pots, which are particularly not waterlogged and afraid of stagnant water, so the selected flower pots should not be too large, and it is best to use flower pots with holes in the pot wall. The second point is that the soil of phalaenopsis is best with moss.

1. Soil

1. Phalaenopsis has relatively high requirements for soil, and the soil suitable for growth needs to be breathable, rot-resistant, and slightly acidic.

2. You can choose to mix pine needles, peanut shells, bark silk, and clay balls as soil substrates, or you can go directly to the flower market to buy special soil for phalaenopsis cultivation.

2. Temperature

1. Phalaenopsis is native to tropical rainforest areas, so it is most suitable for growing in a high temperature and high humidity environment. The temperature during the growing season should not be lower than 15, and it is best to keep the temperature between 16-30.

2. Effective warming measures should be taken at the end of autumn, the turn of winter and spring and when the temperature is low in winter, but the bamboo should not be directly in contact with the heating or too close in winter. In summer, when the temperature is higher than 32, the phalaenopsis will also enter a semi-dormant state, and appropriate cooling is required to avoid the adverse effects of continuous high temperatures.

3. The main flowering period of phalaenopsis is around the Spring Festival, and the night temperature during the flowering period should be kept between 13-16, not lower than 13.

3. Moisture and humidity

1. Phalaenopsis can only maintain healthy growth in a ventilated and humid air humidity of 60-80%.

2. Watering should be "dry and wet", and then water thoroughly when the surface of the potting soil is dry, and the water temperature should be close to room temperature. If the indoor air is dry, you can spray the foliage to keep the foliage moist, but do not spray water on the flowers during the flowering period. Tap water should be stored for 72 hours before use.

3. The extension period of the new roots of Phalaenopsis orchid needs to be watered a lot, and a small amount of water should be watered during the dormant period after flowering. In spring and autumn, you can water it once a day at about five o'clock in the afternoon; During the peak summer growing season, it needs to be watered once a day at 9 a.m. and once at 5 p.m. In winter, the plants need very little water, so you can hand in water every other week, and choose to water before 10 o'clock in the morning. Stop watering when there is a cold wave, keep the potting soil dry, and continue to water normally after the cold wave.

Fourth, light

Hello! Phalaenopsis cultivation should pay attention to soil, light, water and fertilizer.

1. Soil: When cultivating phalaenopsis, a substrate made of peat, perlite and pine needle soil is used.

2. Light: Phalaenopsis is not cold-tolerant, and the indoor temperature needs to be controlled above 10.

3. Water and fertilizer: 1-2 times of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer should be applied during the growth period of Phalaenopsis orchid.

4. Precautions: In summer, spray water mist around phalaenopsis every morning and evening to increase humidity.

Phalaenopsis cultivation method:

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.

2.Temperature affects the flowering of phalaenopsis. Phalaenopsis blooms mostly in early spring.

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. So the lack of flowering is sometimes caused by this reason.

3.Home breeding phalaenopsis should be especially controlled to control the amount of fertilizer and avoid excessive fertilization. Orchid plants are fertilized in small quantities and many times.

4.Be sure to choose a porous pot with breathability for planting, and some people have responded that it is not better to plant in a large pot. That's wrong. Since orchids choose aquatic plants and other substances as the base layer, aquatic plants will not dry up, which will cause poor growth of orchid plants.

Phalaenopsis home maintenance technical points:

1. Shading. It should be placed indoors in a well-lit place (it can be placed on the balcony in the morning and evening) but should not be exposed to strong sunlight.

2. Keep warm. The optimum temperature is 15-25 degrees Celsius. Stop growing below 10 degrees Celsius, and be prone to freezing damage below 5 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it is necessary to keep warm indoors at night in winter.

3. Water control. Phalaenopsis is an aerial orchid that absorbs moisture from the air. Because the pot should not be drenched too much, keep the culture medium moist, indoor cultivation of Phalaenopsis orchid is usually watered once every half a month.

4. Fertilization. Color foliar spray or profile watering. It can be used to prepare 1000 times aqueous solution with special fertilizer for flowers or ordinary compound fertilizer, and apply it once every 10 days.

2.Fertilization: Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to Phalaenopsis before flowering, and fertilize every 10 days during the growing season.

3.Light temperature: Provide astigmatism to Phalaenopsis and keep the temperature between 18-28 degrees.

4.Pruning: Cut off dead branches and flowers to save nutrients.

Phalaenopsis has high requirements for the environment, too much or too little watering will affect the growth of phalaenopsis, breeding phalaenopsis needs to be watered appropriately according to temperature and humidity, and can be watered once a day during the general growth period, and sprinkled around the plant to increase air humidity, and watered once in about 10 days in winter.

Once a week, the water is permeable, but the petals do not catch the water, the phalaenopsis likes the tide, the humidity should be 80 percent, and the temperature should be about 22 degrees.

1. Selection of planting materials.

As mentioned earlier, the planting materials of phalaenopsis are all used moss, bark, charcoal, stones, red jade soil, slow-release fertilizer, etc. It is also necessary to add something else appropriately for the drainage and water retention of the planting material. Generally speaking, if you plant it at home, you can choose to buy ready-made planting materials, which are not expensive and can be used several times.

Because these planting materials will rot, basically they must be replaced once every 1 to 2 years.

2. Appropriate amount of watering.

Spring and summer is the vigorous growth period of Phalaenopsis orchid, the supply of water should be sufficient, basically to see dry and wet, in summer, it is best to adjust the humidity of the ambient air to ensure that the whole plant grows in a humid environment, can grow vigorously. In autumn and winter, when the temperature begins to drop, it is necessary to reduce the amount of watering according to the on-site situation to ensure that the potting soil is moist but not wet.

3. The light should be suitable.

Phalaenopsis is not suitable for cultivation on the balcony, you can place it in a bright living room, etc., because it does not like direct light, as long as there is enough scattered light, it must be shaded in summer, and the strong straight light can easily cause burns. The best way to do this is to move to the living room, bedroom, etc.

4. Good ventilation.

Indoor breeding phalaenopsis, must do a good job of ventilation, increase air convection, can not appear stuffy environment, so, to open more windows for ventilation, especially just after watering, the excess water in the planting material can quickly evaporate, rather than always accumulated in the planting material, the frequency of watering in summer is high, a good ventilation environment is the guarantee that it will not accumulate water.

I often hear people say that phalaenopsis blooms beautifully, and every time I buy it, the seedlings will slowly s, do you know what the reason is? Let me tell you to hear, when you buy back the Phalaenopsis planted with water moss, this water moss planting material is only suitable for the production of Phalaenopsis in the greenhouse planting, because the greenhouse orchid shed can control the temperature, humidity and light, the water moss is difficult to dry once watered, so the Phalaenopsis can be watered once a long time in the greenhouse, and sterilized once a week, we usually buy home seedlings are always afraid of drying, so habitually watered frequently, so that the roots of the Phalaenopsis have been soaked in water, Phalaenopsis aerial orchid, The roots of phalaenopsis also need to breathe air, and the roots that have been soaked in water for a long time can't breathe fresh air, and it will rot to show you, and the orchid seedlings will rot as soon as the orchid roots are rotten.

Now we will find some charcoal for BBQ, chop the charcoal into pieces the size of the big mother's finger, and soak them in a clean basin with clean water for later use. Then buy back the Phalaenopsis after flowering, cut off the flower stems, remove the clean water moss, remember not to leave the water moss at all, and then rinse the roots and seedlings with water, and then find a proper orchid pot, after washing the water, find a large piece of charcoal soaked in water and spread a layer at the bottom of the pot, and then put the roots of the phalaenopsis into the pot, the bottom of a leaf flat pot surface or slightly lower than the pot surface, and then fill in the spare charcoal, fill it slightly below the pot surface 2cm on the line, to fully fill the root to contact the charcoal as much as possible, After planting, rinse with water again, remember that the whole process should be clean, Phalaenopsis and national orchids love to be clean. In this way, planting a pot of phalaenopsis is complete.

The benefits of planting phalaenopsis with charcoal are: moisturizing, ventilation, and potassium fertilizer, so that you can water every day, and you can not water for a week.

Matters to be paid attention to when raising phalaenopsis: 1. Do not stay indoors for a long time, and put it in a place with fresh air for two or three days, such as a balcony. 2. It can not be placed in a place with direct sunlight (orchids are the same), direct sunlight will tan the leaves for a long time, but let it absorb a little more light.

3. In winter, below 10 degrees, it should be brought indoors, because below 10 degrees will cause phalaenopsis frostbite and even frost. It's not hard to notice this, so that you can grow beautiful phalaenopsis.
