As is well known, Phalaenopsis is one of the popular New Year's flowers in recent years. The main reason is that after the flowers bloom, it brings people an infinite and beautiful meaning. However, it is possible that ordinary flower lovers, during the maintenance process, may only enjoy the beauty when the first batch of Phalaenopsis is in full bloom, but fail to see its beautiful flower posture in the next year. Therefore, to be a qualified Phalaenopsis grower, one can start by organizing the roots of Phalaenopsis to improve the quality of its flower buds in the next year and thus obtain more time to enjoy the flowers.
How to operate specifically? Let's take a look at the following text.
Why is the root of Phalaenopsis an important part in the maintenance process of Phalaenopsis? The reason lies in the nature of Phalaenopsis itself. Its roots are all plump fleshy roots with the function of water storage, and they are mainly responsible for absorbing water and nutrients. Therefore, the length and quantity of the roots of Phalaenopsis can directly affect the health of the plant.
Then, how to maintain the roots well? First of all, observe the length of the fleshy roots frequently. Usually, the standard length of the fleshy roots is between 3 and 5 cm. As long as it can be controlled within the standard length, it can ensure that the fleshy roots have sufficient absorption area and will not affect the growth and development of the plant due to excessive length. Secondly, another factor is the quantity of the roots. Taking each Phalaenopsis as an example normally, the quantity of the fleshy roots is controlled between 3 and 8. If the quantity of the roots is too dense or too sparse, it will affect the absorption of water and nutrients of the plant, resulting in poor growth of the plant in the later stage.
In terms of root system maintenance, in most cases where the roots are too sparse after planting, it is recommended to go to the orchid store to select a rooting agent to help the growth of new roots of Phalaenopsis. Because the rooting agent can provide hormones and nutrients that tap water cannot provide, it helps the new roots of Phalaenopsis to be strong. If the root system grows too densely, cut off some parts to maintain a good growth state as much as possible.
In conclusion, to maintain Phalaenopsis well, the organization of its roots is crucial. Flower lovers can reasonably help Phalaenopsis absorb and develop by controlling the length of the fleshy roots and the quantity of the roots. At the same time, it is also recommended to purchase a rooting agent to increase the growth speed and strength of new roots, so that the plant can adapt to the new growth environment more quickly. Pay attention to the above key points in the daily maintenance of plants, and flower lovers can easily grow the most satisfactory Phalaenopsis.
