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.

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.

2. It is best to raise phalaenopsis in a place with good air circulation, especially in summer, the air is hot and stuffy in summer, and it is easy to have pests and diseases if you don't pay attention.

Substrates made with moss, tree bark, etc.

The cultivation medium of phalaenopsis orchid needs good water retention and drainage, and it is generally cultivated without soil, but prepared with water moss, bark silk, ceramsite, charcoal, etc. The moss substrate will rot in about 1 to 2 days, so it is necessary to change the cultivation substrate regularly.

Spring and summer seasons are the peak growing seasons for phalaenopsis, you can water once a day, spray the leaves 2 3 times, and maintain the humidity of the plants; In autumn and winter, as the temperature decreases, the amount of water should be reduced accordingly, on average once every 2 to 5 days, and do not spray the leaves, just keep the substrate slightly moist.

Precautions

In the natural environment, the flowering period of Phalaenopsis is 3 to 5 months, and the ornamental period is more than 2 months, while artificially cultivated Phalaenopsis will lead to irregular flowering or difficult flowering due to environmental factors, but as long as proper maintenance, it can completely bloom.

After the phalaenopsis blooms, the residual flowers should be cut off in time, and at the same time, a pot can be carried out to replace the original substrate and cut off all the dead roots and rotten roots of the phalaenopsis. After that, it can be re-potted and maintained normally, which can save nutrients and promote growth.

If the ventilation is poor, high temperature and humidity, some common diseases may occur, such as soft rot, brown spot and anthracnose, etc., after the discovery of the diseased branches and leaves, it is necessary to remove the diseased branches and leaves in time, and then spray with carbendazim, chlorothalonil and other agents for prevention and control. In addition, ventilation should be strengthened to prevent high temperatures and cold.
