Phalaenopsis is a very beautiful orchid species, and it also has a kind of air root that grows near the leaves. This air root can produce photosynthesis, and it can also absorb a lot of nutrients in the air. It usually blooms before and after spring, and usually 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, neither too high nor too low. In the evening, it is usually 15 to 18 degrees, and the best setting is 23 to 25 degrees. If it is too low, it will affect the growth of flower bud, hinder the development, or cause frostbite. If the temperature is too high, the flowers will wither prematurely.

Moisture

During the flowering period of Phalaenopsis, the water needed is far lower than that needed at ordinary times, because the soil is moderately dry, which is conducive to more delicate flowers. Generally as long as the moisture of the soil with hands to try some of the warm feeling is good. If it is too dry, it will make the leaves wilt, 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 the light is shining, you need a little strong sunshine before flowering, which can make the flowers more elegant and natural, and the colors will be more colorful. At this time, we just need to take away the shade. Need to pay attention to the indoor ventilation, increase some fresh air flow, provide sufficient carbon dioxide

Illumination

Fertilization

In the later period of Phalaenopsis growth, fertilization is not necessary, otherwise, it will cause rotten roots. We can use a little fertilizer of partial potassium phosphate, which can make the quality of flowers better.
