How to raise phalaenopsis How to water orchids

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

Watering 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. Watering 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.

Phalaenopsis cultivation method:

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. Phalaenopsis orchids are suitable for growing in semi-shaded environments, exposed to scattered light, and not exposed to direct sunlight. During the flowering period, moderate light will promote the flowering of phalaenopsis.

5. Fertilization. 1. Phalaenopsis should be fertilized throughout the year, and fertilization can only be stopped when there is long-term low temperature weather. Fertilization should be carried out after watering in the afternoon, and after multiple fertilization, it is also necessary to wash pots or plants with a large amount of water to prevent the inorganic salts left in the fertilizer from causing damage to the roots.

2. Winter is the differentiation period of Phalaenopsis flower buds, and it is easy to make the next flowering less or even no flowers when fertilizer is stopped. Spring and summer are its growth period, apply thin liquid fertilizer every 7-10 days, pay attention to the flower buds can not be fertilized, will cause the flower buds to fall. After flowering, nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer can be applied appropriately.

Autumn and winter are the growth period of flower stems, during which thin phosphate fertilizer can be applied, every 2-3 weeks or so.

6. Ventilation. Phalaenopsis also needs fresh air to grow properly, so make sure the growing environment is well ventilated.
