Have you ever been troubled about cultivating Phalaenopsis? Would you spend the whole day watching videos and reading articles just to make it bloom in a more dazzling state. But when it comes to the actual operation, you still worry that too much water will cause its roots to rot, while too little water will make it wither? The following text will clarify the correct watering method once and for all. Those who are interested can keep reading.

If you want to have a in-depth understanding of the correct watering method for Phalaenopsis, of course, you should first understand its habits. It likes a humid environment but doesn't like a large amount of water very much. Because its roots are very thin, if you give it too much water, it will lead to root rot. But if you give it too little water, it will also affect its growth. Therefore, you must master the balance point.

How to do it? For Phalaenopsis, the best watering method is the soaking pot method. The method is to put the flowerpot of Phalaenopsis into a container with water and wait quietly for about 10 - 15 minutes. During this period, the water will slowly permeate into the pot from the bottom of the Phalaenopsis flowerpot until the surface of the pot soil is slightly moist. The advantage of this method is that it can avoid water directly pouring on the leaves, reducing the possibility of leaf rot. Meanwhile, it can also ensure that the pot soil is evenly moist and provide sufficient water for Phalaenopsis.

After mastering the soaking pot method, you should also pay attention to the watering time and frequency. The habit of Phalaenopsis is to like a warm and humid environment. So you can choose to water it in the morning or in the evening and try to avoid watering it when the sun is strong. As for the watering frequency, it can be adjusted according to different seasons and weather changes. There is no absolute answer. It is recommended that in the spring and summer seasons when the temperature is relatively high and the water evaporation is fast, the watering frequency can be appropriately increased. While in the autumn and winter seasons when the temperature is relatively low and the water evaporation is slow, the watering frequency should be reduced.

All in all, the cultivation of Phalaenopsis is not an easy thing. It requires us to perceive and master it with our hearts. Only by having a deep understanding of its growth habits and mastering the appropriate watering techniques, making it bloom beautifully is actually a very simple thing. Wish everyone that under careful care, Phalaenopsis can show the most charming luster in the home environment.
