The root system of phalaenopsis is an aerial root and requires good air permeability and drainage. Therefore, when choosing a substrate, materials that are loose, breathable, and have good drainage should be selected, such as moss, bark, and sphagnum moss. These substrates can keep the roots moist without waterlogging, which is beneficial to the growth of phalaenopsis.

Generally, watering can be done when the surface of the substrate is dry. Water thoroughly to make the water fully penetrate into the substrate, but avoid waterlogging.

3. Fertilization method
Phalaenopsis needs an appropriate amount of fertilizer supply during the growth process. Specialized phalaenopsis fertilizer can be selected and fertilized according to the requirements of the instructions. Generally, in the growing season, a thin liquid fertilizer is applied every 1 to 2 weeks; before and after the flowering period, the application amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be appropriately increased to promote flower opening and prolong the flowering period.
4. Pest control
Phalaenopsis is vulnerable to pest attacks such as soft rot, anthracnose, scale insects, etc. During the maintenance process, pay attention to keeping the environment clean and hygienic, regularly check the growth of the plant, and take corresponding prevention and control measures in time when pests are found. Fungicides and insecticides can be used for spraying prevention and control, or biological control methods such as introducing natural enemies can also be used.
