Phalaenopsis cultivated with pine needle leaves will not accumulate water. When watering, spray water with a watering can until the bottom of the basin flows out of water. Spray water around the orchid basin frequently to keep the air moist, but pay attention not to make the water in the center of the orchid leaves, especially at night in winter, it is forbidden to spray water on the leaves.
Water for Phalaenopsis depends on its growth and development period. During the elongation period of new roots, more water should be applied. During the flowering and bud stage, water more. However, during flowering, water should be reduced so as to avoid premature withering of large flowers.
Water less during the dormancy period after anthesis. Generally, water can be poured once a day in spring and autumn, and once a day in the morning and evening in summer.
In winter, water should be controlled to keep the basin soil moist.
Spring and summer are the vigorous growth period, and the thin liquid fertilizer mainly composed of nitrogen fertilizer is applied once every two weeks; autumn and winter are the growth period of flower stem, and the liquid fertilizer mainly composed of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is applied once every 10-14 days. Fertilization should be stopped after budding, otherwise it is easy to cause budding.
Water the next day after fertilization. The time of fertilization is usually in the evening. You can water the next morning!
