What to do with phalaenopsis after it blooms

The treatment method after the phalaenopsis blooms and loses is as follows:

1. Cut off the residual flowers in time.

If you want Phalaenopsis to bloom again after 2-3 months, you can cut the flower stem directly from the base 4 to 5 nodes, leaving about 20 cm of peduncle. This pruning may produce another wave of flowers, but it may affect the quality of flowering the following year. Because flowering consumes a lot of nutrients and is not good for growth and flowering in the coming year, it is not recommended to prune like this.

If you want Phalaenopsis to bloom large and abundant in the coming year, you need to cut the entire stem from the base and keep the peduncle about 5 cm long. In this way, there will be no more flowering, and nutrients can be concentrated ** to the main branches, which is conducive to the germination of new shoots and new branches.

2. Replace the pot and soil.

After the phalaenopsis flowering, you can replace the pot and soil with a new one, the old pot and the soil have been used for a long time, the nutrient deficiency is more serious, and the old pot continues to be used, it is easy to breed germs, the soil is used for a long time, the clot is more serious, and the soil ventilation and drainage become poor. The pots used to breed phalaenopsis orchids do not need to be too large, and large pots are prone to water accumulation.

3. Lighting control.

Generally, potted phalaenopsis orchids are planted indoors, mainly because they cannot be overly exposed to the sun, nor can they be in a long-term lightless environment, and it is best to be able to achieve about three hours of astigmatism every day, so that the phalaenopsis raised is particularly beautiful. In winter, the light intensity is not very high, so try to extend the light time every day, and avoid the midday light in summer.

4. Ensure the humidity of the growth environment.

After the phalaenopsis blooms, the frequency of watering can be moderately reduced. If the weather is too hot and dry, you can spray some water around the Phalaenopsis plant so that the environment for the Phalaenopsis to grow is not too dry. Usually, try to keep phalaenopsis in a cool and ventilated environment.

5. Fertilization. Phalaenopsis needs sufficient nutrients to grow well, and it must be fertilized during the growing season, usually with liquid fertilizer, fully diluted with water, poured into the roots of the plant, and if it is foliar fertilizer, it should be sprayed on its leaves. Usually once a month can be applied, the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be controlled, and one should not be biased.

6. Prevent and control plant diseases.

After phalaenopsis flowering, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention and control of leaf rot and other pests and diseases. Usually, phalaenopsis should be placed in a ventilated environment, which is too stuffy and easy to breed bacteria. After the flowers have fallen, some phosphate, potash, and nitrogen fertilizers can be used appropriately.

After the phalaenopsis blooms and fails, the treatment methods are pruning, changing the moss, and maintaining.

1. Pruning

Phalaenopsis first cut off its peduncle after flowering, Phalaenopsis blooms more and the petals are relatively large, it consumes a lot of nutrients, its leaves are particularly few, and the root system is not too developed.

Therefore, it is necessary to prune off the residual flowers to save nutrients, and if there is a new flower stalk, it will also be pruned off to avoid it consuming too much nutrients, and also causing damage to the plant and root system, so that the phalaenopsis only has the consequence of throwing away.

When pruning the phalaenopsis, you can leave a flower stalk of about 5 cm for it, so that it is exposed above the leaves, so that there will be no root rot. If the cut is too short, there is a risk of bacterial infection from the wound that touches it when watering.

Second, change the water moss

Phalaenopsis is generally maintained with water moss, because most of its roots are aerial roots, the soil only plays a fixed role, if the soil is too compact, it must not be well raised, you can change fresh water moss, you can also change the fermented bark, peanut shells and the like, you can also add some peaty soil or large particles of red brick particles.

After adjusting the soil, plant it, so that it will be easier to maintain at home in the future.

If the Phalaenopsis has rotten roots and empty roots, prune it off to keep new roots, and add carbendazim appropriately to avoid bacterial infection in its wounds.

After potting, put it in a place that scatters light, wait until the potting soil is dry and then water it thoroughly, and gradually increase the light when you find that it is starting to grow new shoots.

3. Maintenance

When the phalaenopsis grows new leaves, it means that the seedlings have been successfully slowed down, and a little light can be added. It's summer now, the light is very strong and the temperature is relatively high, Phalaenopsis doesn't like high temperatures, the light is not too strong, and you can see one or two hours of light every day.

Be sure to keep the soil moist and well ventilated, so that it will be maintained until autumn before it begins to grow normally, and it is about to give birth to buds.

When the time comes, add some slow-release fertilizer, and then water potassium dihydrogen phosphate every 10 days, and in November and December, it will begin to give birth to buds, and it can bloom a bunch of butterfly flowers.

Phalaenopsis After the flowers fail, it is necessary to use sterilized sharp scissors to cut off the broken flowers from the base of the flower branches, and replace the loose, breathable and fertile soil for the phalaenopsis to promote its vigorous growth, and the phalaenopsis should be placed in a ventilated and breathable semi-shaded environment to slow down the seedlings, so that they can quickly resume growth.

1. Disinfection treatment

After the flowers of Phalaenopsis bloom and fail, you need to prepare a pair of sharp scissors, and then use alcohol cotton to disinfect it, and then you can cut off the residual flowers of Phalaenopsis together with the base of the flower branches to avoid the loss of excess nutrients, and spray disinfectant on the fracture of Phalaenopsis to make it grow healthily.

2. Soil conditions

Phalaenopsis is suitable for growing in a loose and breathable medium, and when repotting phalaenopsis, it is necessary to use a mixture of coir soil, humus soil and perlite to make a cultivation medium, and then apply well-rotted organic fertilizer or cake fertilizer to improve the fertility of the soil, and then the phalaenopsis can be transplanted into the soil.

3. Suitable environment

After repotting the phalaenopsis, it needs to be placed in the indoor scattered light, and ensure that the environment is ventilated and breathable, which is conducive to the plants to quickly adapt to the new environment, and after waiting for a week to two weeks, you can move the phalaenopsis to a place where it can get sunlight, so that it can receive no less than 4 hours of light every day to make it more beautiful.

4. Maintenance management

When maintaining phalaenopsis, it is necessary to apply diluted nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium liquid fertilizer once a month during the growth of the plant to provide the nutrients needed for flowering of phalaenopsis, and after phalaenopsis flowering, it is necessary to spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate or superphosphate on its flowers and leaves to prolong the flowering time of phalaenopsis.
