I believe that many people began to fall in love with the path of flower cultivation because they fell in love with "Phalaenopsis". It is not only a flower with good meaning during the Spring Festival, but also a flower that can bloom for many years. So, what secrets do you need to master in flower cultivation to make Phalaenopsis burst into full bloom every year? After understanding the following, you can become an expert in raising orchids in an instant!
To raise Phalaenopsis well, the first step is to choose a good substrate for Phalaenopsis. The substrate here is commonly understood as soil. If there are problems with blocked drainage or poor air permeability in the soil during maintenance, it will affect the vitality of Phalaenopsis in the follow-up. It is recommended that you remember to change the substrate regularly to ensure that water can drain out quickly and at the same time keep the plant humid.
Then give it "dancing" light. Phalaenopsis likes a light intensity of about 1500-3000 lux, which is equivalent to a position near the window indoors but not directly exposed to sunlight. It is recommended to place it near the window indoors and use some shade nets to block it. In addition, as the seasons change, the position should also be adjusted appropriately. For example, in spring and autumn, the lighting time can be appropriately increased. In summer, it is necessary to avoid the strong sunlight at noon. In winter, it is necessary to ensure sufficient lighting and at the same time ensure that it is not damaged by the cold wind.
In addition, create an environment with a balance of temperature and humidity for it. To maintain Phalaenopsis well, the suitable temperature should be controlled between 18℃ and 30℃, and the humidity should be between 60% and 80%. You can add tools that can help measure temperature and humidity to achieve accurate monitoring. In case of extremely abnormal situations, it is recommended to choose a sprayer to increase humidity or place it in a ventilated place for ventilation.
Finally, if you want it to burst into full bloom, of course, you must follow a reasonable watering method and fertilization method. Under normal circumstances, you can water according to the principle that the soil surface is slightly dry. Generally, water once every 4-5 days. During this period, you should also pay attention not to let the soil become too dry. Keep it slightly dry when seeing it dry and slightly wet. When fertilizing, you can add fertilizer by referring to the pH value and nutrient content of the soil. Generally, fertilizers with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium nutrient elements are mostly used. In addition, fertilization should be reduced or stopped during the winter dormancy period.
