Let's talk about Phalaenopsis 'Blue Star' today. This Phalaenopsis 'Blue Star' has a particularly beautiful flower shape. The flowers are like little blue fairies dancing gracefully. The petals are tender and smooth, and the color is that particularly charming blue. It's not a very deep blue but has a touch of freshness and elegance, making people unforgettable at a glance.

The leaves of Phalaenopsis 'Blue Star' are also quite interesting. They are thick, green, and have a slightly fleshy feel when touched. The shape of the leaves is also nice, long and curved, as if protecting the flowers.

When it comes to whether it has a fragrance, in fact, the fragrance of Phalaenopsis 'Blue Star' is not very obvious. You have to get close and smell carefully to catch that faint and almost imperceptible light fragrance.

Let's talk about its growing environment. This little fellow is very picky! It likes warm and humid places. The temperature can't be too high or too low. If it's too cold or too hot, it will be temperamental and won't grow well. Moreover, it has requirements for air humidity. It won't do if it's too dry. You have to spray water around it frequently to make the air humid so that it can grow vigorously.

Then, how to care for it to make it blossom? There are quite a few points to pay attention to.

In terms of light, it definitely can't withstand direct sunlight. Scattered light is the most suitable for it. You can place it in a place with bright indoor light but not directly exposed to the sun. Corners of the living room or the shaded area of the balcony are good choices.

The temperature must be controlled properly. It will feel particularly comfortable at around 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. In winter, you need to pay special attention to keeping it warm. Make sure the temperature isn't too low; otherwise, it won't be able to blossom.

Watering shouldn't be too frequent. Wait until the planting material is almost dry before watering, and make sure to water thoroughly when you do. Be very careful not to let water accumulate; otherwise, its roots will easily have problems.

Fertilization is also crucial. During the growing season, it's fine to apply a thin liquid fertilizer to it every one or two weeks. Don't be too greedy and apply too much; otherwise, it will be "burnt".

The air humidity mustn't be low. Usually, you have to spray water around it more often to increase the humidity.

Also, it's about repotting. You have to change it to a slightly larger pot every one or two years to allow its roots to grow more freely.
