Generally, Phalaenopsis is pruned after flowering, and the redundant flower stems are cut from the 4 or 5 nodes at the base; and the residual flowers after flower withering are cut off, and the first flower or branch is cut when cutting. In addition, be careful not to let it bear fruit, because it will consume a lot of nutrients and affect the growth of plants.

I. how to cut

When phalaenopsis is pruned, it is usually pruned after the flower has withered. The pruning is to reduce the nutrient consumption of the flower branches. At this time, the withered flowers should be cut off and the branches should also be pruned. If the roots and leaves of the plant are very strong during pruning, several more flower stems can be reserved. When pruning the flower stems, it is OK to cut off from the 4 and 5 nodes at the base. It can be cut off from the first flower or the first branch, because there are still small buds on the remaining flower stalks. If it is carefully maintained, it will bloom in 2 or 3 months.
