Have you ever had such an experience? There are some flowers that, once you take a look at them, you feel as if you've been enchanted and can't forget them! I'm talking about the Phalaenopsis orchid with its diverse colors. However, although the flowers are beautiful, there are many things to pay attention to during cultivation, such as not always changing the placement position of the orchid.
Why is it said that when cultivating orchids, we shouldn't always change their positions? Because many flower enthusiasts move the potted plants frequently in order to meet the lighting requirements. In this way, it's easy to accidentally break the flower stalks during the movement. At the same time, the roots of orchids are very sensitive. If the temperature fluctuates too much all the time, the plants will become less and less energetic.
If, during the daily movement of the potted plants, you really accidentally crack the flower stalk a little bit and the situation is that the stem is not completely separated from the flower, there's no need to worry too much. At this time, you just need to wrap the broken part with a tissue and then fix it with a small clip. The flower will still bloom normally in the later stage. However, you should also pay attention to preventing the flower stalks of the Phalaenopsis orchid from breaking in daily life.
So, what kind of humidity does the Phalaenopsis orchid like during daily cultivation? What are the cultivation suggestions? First of all, in cultivation, it is preferable to choose a well-ventilated place with a humidity between 50% and 80%. Try not to move the placement position frequently. At the same time, it should not be placed in strong winds or under the scorching sun to prevent sudden temperature changes that may cause the plants to grow poorly. In terms of the four seasons, it needs to be kept warm in winter, and in summer, it is necessary to properly ventilate and cool down.
Next, in addition to paying attention to humidity, light, and ventilation, watering and fertilizing are essential for orchids. When it comes to watering, remember the principle of "it's better to keep it dry than wet". Don't be impulsive and water too much. After each watering, pour out the accumulated water at the bottom of the flower pot. Otherwise, if the roots are always soaked in water, it is very easy for the roots to rot. In terms of fertilization, you need to buy some fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium and dilute and irrigate them regularly. In this way, the flower stalks can grow stronger and are less likely to break.
Finally, the Phalaenopsis orchid is prone to insect pests. Pests and diseases such as thrips, scale insects, and red spider mites may occur. Usually, check the plants and petals frequently when there is nothing wrong. Once you find insects, find a way to control them immediately. Only in this way can the flower stalks grow smoothly and the flowers bloom beautifully.
