1、 Basin replacement and soil selection

When you buy Phalaenopsis, the shop owner will tell you that you need to change the pot for it every year. If you don't change the pot, the root may rot. So how to choose basin and soil

1. Basin selection

Phalaenopsis is a very fine and expensive flower. The flowerpot must be selected well. You can choose pottery or plastic, but it must be porous and shallow, and the height cannot be greater than the diameter of the bottom

2. Soil selection

Phalaenopsis is a plant with mature breeding technology in the flower market. There is special breeding soil for sale in the soil. If you want to save trouble, you can buy it directly; If you want to be more perfect, you can also configure the soil yourself: first collect pine needle leaves, peanut skin, tree bark silk, charcoal and other grass ash fertilizers with high organic quality, which can be configured separately or mixed. These may meet the needs of Phalaenopsis before flowering

2、 Temperature control

The temperature of Phalaenopsis before flowering must be well controlled. It was originally a tropical plant. It can be imagined that it needs a higher temperature. It is best to be 25 ℃ - 28 ℃ during the day and 18 ℃ at night. It is very sensitive to temperature. If it is lower than 15 ℃ for a long time, the root will no longer absorb water. Without water, it is difficult to maintain life, let alone bloom. Especially in the north, the climate is changeable and the indoor temperature is unstable. You must keep warm at night

3、 Watering

In tropical coastal areas, the climate is very humid and there is plenty of rain. Phalaenopsis, as a local plant, also likes a humid environment very much, so it can't be short of water. Especially before flowering, it should be watered frequently, but pay attention to the amount of watering, and there must be no ponding at the root

4、 Fertilization

Phalaenopsis grows very fast before flowering and needs a lot of nutrition, so we should apply more fertilizer, preferably once a week. In the choice of fertilizer, it is better to contain more nutrients. Xiaobian also mentioned earlier that the cultivation technology of Phalaenopsis is very mature. If you can't configure fertilizer, you can also buy fertilizer specially used for this period
