Flowering maintenance of Phalaenopsis

Author:Amsterdam Date:2022-04-05 04:09

Phalaenopsis is a very beautiful orchid variety, and it also has an air root that grows near the leaves. This air root can produce photosynthesis and absorb a lot of nutrients in the air. It usually blooms around the Spring Festival, and generally speaking, the flowering period is not short. So how can we maintain it when it blooms?

Temperature

During the flowering period of Phalaenopsis, we must pay attention to the temperature range, which should not be too high or too low. In the evening, it is generally 15 to 18 degrees, and the best setting is between 23 and 25 degrees. If it is too low, it will affect the growth of flower buds, hinder development, or frostbite. If the temperature is too high, it will cause the flowers to wither prematurely

Moisture

During the flowering period, Phalaenopsis needs much less water than usual, because the moderate drying of the soil is conducive to the more beautiful flowers. Generally, as long as the humidity of the soil is tested by hand, it will feel warm and moist. If it is too dry, the leaves will become withered, lose luster and become unsightly. If the humidity is too high, the leaves will wrinkle in a week or so, and the growth of flower buds will be affected, resulting in too small flowers and dim colors

Illumination

If there is light, a little stronger sunshine is needed before flowering, which can make the flowers stretch more elegant and natural, and the flower color will be more colorful. At this time, we just need to take away the shade. We need to pay attention to the indoor ventilation, increase some fresh air flow and provide sufficient carbon dioxide

Fertilization

In the later stage of Phalaenopsis growth, fertilization can not be used, otherwise it will cause rotten roots of the plant. We can use a little phosphorus potassium fertilizer in a small amount, which can make the quality of flowers better
