After phalaenopsis blooms, first take off the pot and check the root system. Pull up the plant, remove the old root system, and then disinfect it. Then trim the flower stems and remove the part of the flower stems about 5 knots away from the pot soil. Then change the basin and replace it with the culture soil with sufficient nutrients. Finally, pay attention to maintaining the temperature and raise it to above 10 ℃ in winter.

1. Check the root system

Uproot the flowering plants, check the root condition, remove all rotten roots and old roots if any, and then soak them in carbendazim solution to disinfect the roots

2. Pruning flower stems

Cut off the flower stem part of the plant, and start pruning from about 5 sections from the flower to the pot soil. Cutting off the flower stem can prevent it from competing for the root or branch part, resulting in unnecessary consumption; If it is not trimmed, it may not bloom again, or the flowers may be thin and small

Moreover, the flowers in the rest period do not need too much water. If watered too much, it will cause excessive water and easy to lead to rotten roots
