As the saying goes, "When nature nourishes people, they grow fat; when people nourish people, they grow thin and bony," warning people to conform to the weather. The same is true on the road of flower cultivation, especially for the relatively delicate phalaenopsis. It should not be too cold in winter or too hot in summer. So how to find the most comfortable temperature for phalaenopsis when caring for it? Let's find out together below.
I believe everyone knows that the original habitat of phalaenopsis is in the tropical rainforest, so the similar temperature is relatively warm and humid, and this temperature is relatively constant between 22 - 28 degrees Celsius. Therefore, when flower lovers take care of it during the day, if the temperature can be controlled within this range, it can easily stimulate the growth vitality of phalaenopsis, and the flowers that bloom will be more vivid and the roots will be relatively green.
Unlike during the day, phalaenopsis prefers a cool environment to rest at night. Therefore, at night, the suitable temperature for it is between 18 - 22 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference between day and night can allow the roots of phalaenopsis to accumulate nutrients, making better reserves for the growth of the next day. This is actually very similar to humans. People need to sleep to recharge their energy and devote more energy to the work during the day.
In addition, the external temperature changes with the four seasons. As a flower grower, one should try to cooperate with the four seasons and respond flexibly. In spring and autumn, it is the growth period of phalaenopsis. At this time, in addition to keeping the temperature constant, one also needs to pay attention to the sunburn caused by summer to phalaenopsis. In winter, it is also necessary to move it away from the position of strong wind in advance and adjust the indoor temperature through intelligent control equipment when necessary, because only by doing so can phalaenopsis bloom more brightly.
All in all, if phalaenopsis maintains a temperature between 22 - 28 degrees Celsius during the day and a stable temperature between 18 - 22 degrees Celsius at night, it can thrive. In terms of other care aspects, its requirement for water management is not strict, but it is necessary to avoid waterlogging, so there is no need to worry too much about watering. In addition, phalaenopsis also occasionally needs to be fertilized and pruned.
