How to prolong the flowering period of phalaenopsis orchids at home?

Phalaenopsis orchids are nicknamed "plastic flowers" by flower friends because they have a long flowering period, as long as the maintenance environment is suitable, the ornamental period is as long as half a year, which is comparable to plastic flowers.

In addition to not yellow leaves and rotten roots, we hope that the viewing period of phalaenopsis is longer, but in the case of improper maintenance, the viewing period of phalaenopsis flowers will be very short, which is also a problem that makes novice flower friends very distressed, so how to extend the viewing period? Personally, I feel that we need to pay attention to the following aspects:

Conservation environmentConservation of Phalaenopsis orchid, flower friends basically provide a semi-shaded environment, or astigmatism environment, these two environments, phalaenopsis growth, flowering will not have a problem.

However, if you want to prolong the flowering period of Phalaenopsis, you should try to avoid direct sunlight on the flowers during the phalaenopsis flowering period, which will cause the water of the flowers to evaporate quickly and shorten the flowering period.

In addition, the ambient temperature of the maintenance phalaenopsis can not be too low, nor too high, it is better to keep it between 15 and 20, the temperature is too low or too high, it will shorten the viewing period of phalaenopsis, especially in the northern winter The indoor temperature is high, and the viewing period of phalaenopsis will be greatly shortened.

When the temperature of the maintenance environment is high, or the air is dry, you can also spray the surrounding environment during the day, or add water in the form of spraying the leaves to increase humidity.

When spraying phalaenopsis leaves, you can also spray the back of the flower (note that it is the back!). Spray to increase humidity and prolong the viewing period. Be careful not to spray on the center of the leaf when spraying, and there should be no standing water on the leaf.

Save nutrientsWhen the phalaenopsis enters the flowering period, it is necessary to stop fertilization, so as not to grow vigorously and affect the flowering of the phalaenopsis, so in the flowering period, it is necessary to save nutrients.

This is to cut off the residual flowers in time when the flowers are wilting, save nutrients, and achieve the purpose of prolonging the flower viewing period.

In addition, when the Phalaenopsis is in bloom, avoid placing it next to the TV, as the radiation from the TV will not only affect the growth of the Phalaenopsis orchid, but also shorten its viewing period.

To sum up, if you want to prolong the viewing period of Phalaenopsis flowers, you must not only start from the light environment, temperature, humidity, nutrients, and placement to achieve the purpose of prolonging the viewing period.

It is definitely necessary to start from the four elements of flower raising, first of all, to choose high-quality soil, then to properly water fertilizer to ensure impact, to water regularly, and finally to ensure sunlight and temperature.

As long as the flowering period can be extended in the right environment, we must pay attention to the condition of nutrients and maintain enough nutrients.

It is necessary to pay attention to maintaining temperature, watering in time, fertilizing in time, paying attention to light intensity, and ventilating in time.

Flowering period Phalaenopsis family cultivation method, the flowering period of phalaenopsis is generally about 2-3 months. When the flowers open, they are like butterflies, the ornamental value is very high, many people like to raise them at home, follow me to see the flowering period phalaenopsis family raising method, I hope it will be useful to you!

How to maintain phalaenopsis at home during the flowering period

1. The temperature is suitable

Phalaenopsis should keep the temperature in the most suitable range during flowering, the optimal growth temperature of Phalaenopsis is 23 to 25 degrees Celsius, and the night is usually 15 to 18 degrees Celsius, too high or too low will affect the growth of flower buds, hinder the development of plants, too low temperature will make the plant enter a dormant state, and too high temperature will cause the flowers to fall in advance.

2. Sufficient moisture

The need for water during the flowering period of Phalaenopsis is lower than that of the growing period, proper control of water, keeping the soil moisture dry is conducive to the quality and quantity of flowering, you can test the wetness of the water by hand before watering, and then water after drying. Too much dryness can cause the leaves to wilt and lose their luster, and too much moisture can cause the leaves to shrivel.

3. Sufficient light

Phalaenopsis needs strong light before flowering, and the light time is maintained at more than eight hours a day, which can promote the stretching of the flowers and the flower color will be more vivid.

4. Control fertilization

Phalaenopsis needs to be fertilized in the early stage of growth, but fertilizer should be appropriately reduced during the flowering period, otherwise it will cause the root system of the plant to burn, and fertilizers containing more phosphorus and potassium can be applied before flowering and flowering, which can promote pregnancy buds and flowering. After flowering, it is also necessary to top dressing in time to supplement the fertilizer consumed by flowering, maintain soil fertility, and prepare for the next flowering.

How long does the phalaenopsis bloom last

-3 months

The flowering period of Phalaenopsis generally has a length of about 2-3 months, and if it is maintained, it can be appropriately extended by 10-20 days, and after the first flower withering, a certain amount of pruning and maintenance operations are carried out, and the plant can also bloom the second flower, so its actual flowering period is very long, adding up to more than 4 months.

2. Maintenance conditions

When maintaining the flowers of phalaenopsis, it is necessary to pay attention to watering, fertilization, light and temperature, watering to see dry and wet without leaving stagnant water, adding some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to the plant in an appropriate amount to ensure that the plant has sufficient scattered light, the temperature can not be lowered too low, and the flowering period of the plant can be extended to a certain extent.

3. Prune the flowers

After the first withering of the Phalaenopsis flowers, the plant still has a lot of nutrients in the body, so the residual flowers are cut off from the flower stem, and the flower stem is cut from the base up about 4-5 knots, and after about 2 months of maintenance, the plant can produce a second flower, so the actual flowering period is as long as 4 months.

4. Precautions

Although the flowering period of phalaenopsis is relatively long, and the maintenance conditions are not very harsh, this plant can only grow in water moss, so the health of the substrate has a great impact on the flowers of the plant, and if you start cultivating from the seedling stage, the phalaenopsis can only bloom for the first time when you are 2 years old, otherwise it will not be able to bloom if it is not mature.

Phalaenopsis flowering management methods:

1. Temperature: The temperature should be strictly controlled during the phalaenopsis flowering period, such as not too high or too low. The optimal temperature is 15 18 at night, and the continuous low temperature below 23 25 and 14 during the day can lead to stunted growth of flower buds, and even sepal frostbite, deformed flower development, and completely lose ornamental value.

2. Moisture: Phalaenopsis needs less water than usual throughout the flowering period, without affecting the normal growth of its plants, the medium is dry to help the flowers to be colorful, and the humidity is about to pinch the medium fingers to have a moist feeling, not too dry or too wet. If the medium is too dry, it will cause the leaves to wilt, which will seriously reduce the overall ornamental value.

3. Light: The light intensity required for the phalaenopsis flowering period is very different from that of the former macro oak period, the early stage needs to be shaded and shaded, and the shade must be removed during this period, and the strong light intensity helps the flowers to stretch, and the flower arrows are uniform and the flower color is gorgeous. There is no need to increase the light intensity, and there is no need to follow a fixed and accurate light intensity data.

4. Fertilizer: Phalaenopsis plants basically stop growing or grow weakly during the flowering period, and there is basically no need to fertilize during this period, and more fertilizer will lead to root rot. However, a small amount of fertilization helps flowering, and the flower quality is good, while unfertilized plants show that the flowers are long and brittle, the inflorescence nodes are too long, and the flowers are too large.

Thin liquid fertilizer is applied every half day, and the fertilizer ratio is more important than phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

Phalaenopsis flowering period:

Phalaenopsis has a long flowering period, generally around the Spring Festival, and the ornamental period can be as long as 2 to 3 months, blooming once or twice a year. When the flowers wilt, the withered flowers should be cut off as soon as possible, so as to reduce the consumption of nutrients. If the stems are cut off from the base at 4 to 5 nodes, they can bloom again after 2 to 3 months.

Because it consumes a lot of nutrients to grow and bloom, it is important to allow sufficient time for it to recover. In a domestic environment, flowers often only bloom once a year.

It usually blooms at the end of spring, between April and June, when it blooms for two or three months. However, if it is a domesticated plant, prune it in time after flowering, and provide it with a suitable growth environment, and it can also open again, and the flowering period will naturally last longer.

1. Watering: Its root system is fleshy, afraid of waterlogging, watering must pay more attention. The water requirement will be much lower than usual during the blooming of wild flowers, so it is necessary to reduce the number of waterings, and if it is not dry, you can not water it first, and maintain a certain dry environment, so that the flower color will be more gorgeous.

If it is watered frequently, it is easy to drop flowers, and the flower color will also fade.

2. Light: It likes sunlight itself, and during flowering, it should be placed in an astigmatism environment to let it bask in the sun. Pay attention to the strong light in the afternoon should be blocked, otherwise it is too strong and easy to be sunburned, and the flowering period will be shortened. If it is left in the shade for a long time, the color will fade.

3. Ventilation: It should be placed in a well-ventilated environment. If it is maintained indoors, it can be placed on the window sill, and the windows should be opened frequently, ventilated more, and the air circulation should be maintained.

If it is in a hot and humid environment, it is susceptible to diseases and insect pests, which will naturally affect flowering and growth.

4. Fertilization: Phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied before it blooms, and it is best to dilute it before applying, so that the plant can absorb it faster. Note that after the flowers open, they should be stopped for fertilizer treatment, which will accumulate enough nutrients, and then apply easy to burn the roots, which will cause the flowers to fall early.

Phalaenopsis orchids need to be maintained during the summer flowering period, such as temperature control, watering control, light control and proper pruning. The temperature should be stable at about 16-28 degrees Celsius, appropriately reduce the amount of watering, control the water slightly, give the plants sufficient scattered light exposure, and be careful not to cut off the flower buds when pruning.

1. Stable temperature

Phalaenopsis is not tolerant to low temperatures, but extreme heat is also harmful to it, and the plant will stagnate when the temperature is higher than 32 degrees Celsius, so it is necessary to stabilize the ambient temperature between 16-28 degrees Celsius.

2. Control watering

The roots of phalaenopsis are fleshy, because of the combination of this is especially afraid of waterlogging, it is easy to rot, it is necessary to pay attention to not have stagnant water when watering, and the water storage capacity of the water moss is very strong, the water demand of the plant during the flowering period is not high, a little control of watering, reduce the amount of water can make the flowers of the plant more bright.

3. Control lighting

If the phalaenopsis is placed in a place with sufficient sunlight, the flowers of the plant will bloom larger, and the color of the flowers will become brighter and more attractive, but be careful not to let it be exposed to excessive exposure to the sun, otherwise the flowers will be burned by the sun, damaged or even withered.

4. Trim properly

Pruning for phalaenopsis is also one of the necessary processes in the maintenance of flowering, cutting off the remaining flowers on the phalaenopsis can save nutrients for the plant and reduce the probability of the plant being infected by pathogens, but it is also necessary to pay attention not to cut off the part with flower buds, so as not to cause the abnormal phenomenon of insufficient flowering stamina of the plant.

After the formation of phalaenopsis flower buds, more phosphorus should be applied until flowering. When the flower stem is pulled upwards and has a tendency to tilt to one side, a pillar should be erected to tie it so that the flower stalk will not break. Later, the peduncle grows taller and taller, and the binding should be carried out gradually, and the pillar is slightly arc-shaped to enhance the beauty.

Stop applying fertilizer during flowering and before new leaves emerge.

There are four taboos in the maintenance of the flowering period, the four taboos are to avoid watering, fertilization, high temperature, and not pruning the flowers.

After flowering, for the robust orchid plant with more than 5 leaves, you can leave the lower part of the stem 3 4 knots to shrink and prune, and it is expected to bloom again on the remaining flower stems in the future.
