I believe many friends who have raised Phalaenopsis would wonder how to water it properly in daily maintenance? This question seems simple but is very incisive because in the process of raising Phalaenopsis, it is often difficult to control the amount of water, resulting in root rot. Today, let's discuss together how to give Phalaenopsis the correct "drink" based on the above content.
All beautiful plants need to be watered. Water absorption is quite important for Phalaenopsis. In the original ecological conditions, it needs to preserve more water for itself, so it forms its roots into a chubby shape. Therefore, its roots have the characteristic of storing water. In daily maintenance, if you water it too much, it is prone to water saturation and root rot. If you give it too little water, it will affect its normal growth. So how to control the "drinking" of Phalaenopsis? First, observe the state of the potting soil. That is, before watering, check whether the potting soil is dry. If you see that there is still a certain degree of moisture inside, it means that Phalaenopsis is not thirsty and does not need to be watered. If you see that it is slightly dry, then water it.
Then, also pay attention to the watering method. Do not water the pot blindly. Be sure to adopt the way of "a small but steady stream", and water slowly from the soil. Only in this way can the water completely penetrate into the potting soil. At the same time, be careful not to water from the flowers and leaves. Water around them to avoid various black rot and other situations.
Secondly, when watering, it is also necessary to consider the seasonal changes. For example, in spring and autumn, when the temperature is suitable, the frequency of watering Phalaenopsis should also increase because spring and autumn are the vigorous growth periods of Phalaenopsis. In summer, when the temperature gradually rises, in addition to increasing the frequency of watering, it is also necessary to spray water around the plants to increase the air humidity. When the cold winter comes, the plants should be placed indoors as much as possible and the frequency of watering should be reduced. Just follow the principle that the potting soil is slightly moist.
Finally, after watering correctly, it is also necessary to pay attention that there should be no accumulated water in the bottom of the pot. At the same time, after watering, it needs to be placed in a well-ventilated position. Only in this way can the healthy growth of Phalaenopsis be fully ensured.
