Phalaenopsis does not have a high demand for light, especially during the flowering period of Phalaenopsis. The plant can be placed indoors in a room with bright astigmatism. Weak light can also prolong the flowering period of Phelaenopsis. After the plant flowers fail, it can be exposed to direct light for 2-3 hours every day.
The most suitable growth temperature for Phalaenopsis is 25-35 . Once the night temperature is lower than 10 , the flower stems and leaves of Phalaenopsis will be soft, and brown frozen spots will appear on the leaves. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the maintenance temperature is above 10 in winter.
Phalaenopsis is mostly cultivated with sphagnum moss. Usually, you can insert your hand into the sphagnum moss to feel that the sphagenum moss is dry. Through a transparent plastic pot, you can observe that the root system of Phalaenopsis turns white. Only when the root tip is wet, you can use the way of soaking pot to water the Phalaenopsis thoroughly.
Phalaenopsis likes humidity. It is better to keep a high air humidity at ordinary times. If conditions permit, a humidifier can be placed beside the plant. If there is no humidifier, water can be sprayed around the plant to increase humidity. Be careful not to spray water on the flowers and leaves of the plant.
Phalaenopsis is generally planted with sphagnum moss and bark, and fertilizer and water should be applied during the growth period of the plant, but thin fertilizer should be used, such as special nutrient solution for orchids, and undecomposed organic fertilizer should not be applied.
When Phalaenopsis is cultivated, it is easy to cause soft rot, brown spot, scale insect, red spider and other hazards, which can be controlled by spraying carbendazim and Huhua Shen regularly.
