For example, it can be placed at a position 1 to 2 meters away from the window in the living room. The soft light in the morning or evening can fully nourish it without being burned by the scorching sun at noon. If the light is too strong, yellow spots are likely to appear on the leaves; if the light is insufficient, the number and color of the flowers will be affected.

The watering frequency does not need to be too high. Once or twice a week is enough. Adhere to the principle of "watering when the soil is dry and making it thoroughly wet", that is, wait until the surface of the soil is slightly dry and then water it thoroughly so that the water can fully penetrate to the roots. However, never let there be water accumulation in the pot, otherwise the fleshy roots will easily rot. Try to water in the morning, and the water temperature is preferably similar to the room temperature to avoid irritating the roots.

In terms of fertilization, apply a thin liquid fertilizer every 1 to 2 weeks during the peak growth period, which can meet its growth needs and help it grow vigorously. For the liquid fertilizer, you can choose a general-purpose fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and water it after diluting according to the instructions. Before the flowering period, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Dilute it into a solution and spray it on the leaves or water the roots, which can promote the differentiation of flower buds and make the flowers large and gorgeous.

As long as you take good care of it, this pot of Chinese Red Phalaenopsis can grow vigorously and bloom more gorgeous flowers.
