How to raise phalaenopsis and how much to water, how to water phalaenopsis

When cultivating phalaenopsis, you need to water every 5-8 days, so that the water can run down the edge of the pot so that the soil is completely soaked, and in the middle of summer, you need to spray water mist around the phalaenopsis to reduce the temperature of the environment, and in the winter period, you need to move the phalaenopsis indoors with a temperature higher than 10 degrees to make it grow healthily.

1. Watering management

Phalaenopsis is a water-loving plant, when breeding Phalaenopsis orchid, it is best to water every 5-8 days to promote the vigorous growth of the plant, when watering Phalaenopsis orchid, you need to let the water flow down the edge of the pot, from the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot, so that the soil is completely soaked, and the water can not be left in the heart of the Phalaenopsis leaves, to avoid its decay.

2. Spray water mist

The temperature is high in summer, and the water evaporation rate is fast, when breeding phalaenopsis in summer, you need to choose to water in the early morning and evening to avoid poor plant growth, and when the ambient temperature is higher than 30 degrees, use a sprayer or kettle to spray water mist around the phalaenopsis to reduce the ambient temperature.

3. Suitable temperature

Phalaenopsis is not tolerant to severe cold, it is suitable for growing in a warm environment, when breeding phalaenopsis in winter, it is necessary to move the plant to a warm room, and to control the indoor temperature at more than 10 degrees, and to open the window at noon every day to ventilate the phalaenopsis and promote its healthy growth.

4. Maintenance management

When maintaining Phalaenopsis orchid, it is necessary to cut off the withered yellow leaves, diseased branches and insect pest branches of the plant in time to promote the germination of green new branches and leaves of Phalaenopsis to make it more beautiful, and after the phalaenopsis flowering, it is necessary to apply compound fertilizer based on phosphorus and potassium to increase the number of flowers.

Spring and autumn watering can be watered once a day to promote the vigorous growth of phalaenopsis. In summer, when the weather is hot, it is best to water once a day in the morning and evening to avoid drying out the leaves of the phalaenopsis flowers. Winter watering Phalaenopsis orchids are semi-dormant in the winter and need to be watered every other week, and the water temperature should be similar to room temperature.

Phalaenopsis grows from aerial roots, which emanate from the stems and no longer have bifurcations and capillary roots. The absorption of nutrients and water mainly depends on the epidermis of aerial roots. In addition to fixing the plant and absorbing nutrients and water, it can also carry out photosynthesis, synthesize the organic substances needed for growth, and promote the growth of the plant.

In the wild, phalaenopsis relies on aerial roots to attach itself to rocks and trees to survive. Phalaenopsis orchids in the wild are green because their roots are directly exposed (even if they are covered by fallen leaves or other vegetation, they are a thin layer that does not completely block the light). The stronger the light, the greener the color, that is, when the root system receives more sunlight, the photosynthesis is sufficient, and the chlorophyll content is more.

Phalaenopsis flowering period

Phalaenopsis blooms for 2 to 3 months, and blooms from April to June every year, so it can be artificially changed to have a high ornamental value like a butterfly after flowering. The inflorescence of Phalaenopsis grows at the base of the stem of the plant, usually unbranched, and the inflorescence stalk is green.

When it blooms, it usually opens slowly from the base to the top of the plant, and the flower color has many colors, such as red, white, purple, etc. The petals are diamond-shaped and round, and most of the flowers are unscented. When the phalaenopsis is in bloom, it is necessary to do a good job of maintenance, the temperature is best controlled at about 25 degrees, and enough light needs to be supplemented.

The correct way to water phalaenopsis is as follows:

1. When you usually water, you can check the weight of the flower celebration pot, and you can feel the water according to the feel after each watering, but for larger flowers, this method is not very practical, and it is still possible for small potted plants.

2. Observe the color of the substrate, the color of the aerial roots on the surface, the water vapor on the basin wall, if the aerial roots are a little whitish, there is no water vapor on the basin wall, and the color of the soil has also become lighter, which is a symptom of water shortage. When maintaining phalaenopsis, put some moss on the soil, so you can't see the color of the soil directly, in this case, the same is the same for the moss, and the same light color indicates a lack of water.

3. Touching the drain at the bottom of the pot is also able to distinguish the dry and wet conditions of the plants, and there is no need to water it if it is wet, because the inside of the soil is still in a moist state, and if you water it again, it will be excessive. In the same way, if it is dry, and the soil will be scattered as soon as it is touched, it is very dry and needs to be replenished in time.

4. The water temperature of watering must be suitable for the ambient temperature, if there is a difference between the water temperature and the ambient temperature, you can place it for a period of time until the water temperature and ambient temperature are suitable before watering.

5. When spraying the watering can, be careful not to scatter the mold to the heart of the leaf, otherwise it will cause the heart of the leaf to rot, if it is sprayed into the heart of the leaf, it is necessary to use a paper towel to absorb the water in time.

Phalaenopsis watering depends on the season, and the method is as follows:1. Spring and autumn watering.

Watering the phalaenopsis needs to be carried out according to the season, the weather is warm in spring and autumn, it is in the vigorous growth period, at this time it is best to water it once a day, but it is not resistant to waterlogging, so the amount of watering can not be too much, it is best to let the substrate be in a slightly moist state, so that it can grow vigorously.

2. Water in summer.

In summer, the water will evaporate relatively quickly, at this time the plant has a higher demand for water, it is best to water it once a day in the morning and evening, so as to avoid the phenomenon of water loss and scorching of the plant, at this time it is also necessary to sprinkle water around the plant frequently, increase the air humidity, and can also play a role in cooling.

3. Winter watering.

In winter, the water evaporates relatively slowly, at this time it is necessary to strictly control the water for the phalaenopsis, generally water it once a week, and it is necessary to master the principle of seeing dry and wet, and then water it after observing the surface of the substrate, pay attention to watering, but also need to make the water temperature and room temperature almost the same, so as not to frostbite the plant.

Winter watering. In winter, the water evaporates relatively slowly, at this time it is necessary to strictly control the water for the phalaenopsis, generally water it once a week, and it is necessary to master the principle of calling the ruler to see the dry and wet, and then water it after observing the surface of the substrate, pay attention to the watering, but also need to make the water temperature and room temperature almost the same, so as not to frostbite the plant.
