The life span of Phalaenopsis is about 5-15 years. The length of its life is related to the maintenance methods and management skills.
the pot plants with bryophyte as the main substrate can last for 1 year, and should be replaced once a year.
As a very important work in cultivation management, pot changing can effectively improve the aging of culture medium, the decay of moss and the poor permeability, and also help prevent the root system from growing out of pot in vain, the root system from decaying and even dying when the plant growth is abnormal.
In the process of cultivation, if it is found that the growth of individual plants is weak, or the substrate is rotten and airtight, and the newly started potting method of Phalaenopsis is improper, it can be replaced at any time to restore its growth. In these cases, you can't wait until spring to change pots, otherwise the plants will rot and die.
The best choice is between late spring and early summer and when new roots are born.
It's better to change the pot in the temperature environment above 20 ℃. If the temperature is too low, the plant will recover too slowly. If the management is a little lax, the plant will rot. It is not recommended to change the basin in the low temperature environment in winter.
The seedlings of Phalaenopsis grow rapidly. In spring, the tube seedlings are planted in small pots, and the pot changing work is usually carried out in summer.
at first, one or several seedlings should be planted in a small basin, and then, according to the actual growth situation, they should be planted in a large basin. (do not plant the seedlings directly in a large basin)
It is not necessary to remove the potted substrate at the root of the original plant to avoid damaging the root. Just wrap a layer of moss around the root (other commonly used potting media can also be used), and then transplant it into a new basin of No.
The seedlings with normal development are changed once every 4-6 months. It is not necessary to put it in the shade within 2 weeks after the basin is changed. At the same time, it is not allowed to apply fertilizer, and the amount of water should be replenished properly.
more than one year later, the Phalaenopsis that has been cultivated as a seedling should be replaced with a basin or a basin medium.
The first step is to gently buckle out the seedlings in the basin, remove the old matrix around the root with tweezers, and pay attention not to hurt the root. Then cut off the dead old roots and some branches and stems, and cover the roots with potted substrate. Take care to spread the roots evenly, and do not wrap multiple roots together.
Finally, the plant was planted in a new basin.
