Today, I will introduce a super dreamy phalaenopsis - Rainbow Unicorn.

Phalaenopsis Rainbow Unicorn is a medium-sized phalaenopsis with a large number of flowers, compact flowers, neat inflorescences, and gradient colors. It becomes pinker as it blooms. Moreover, there is a small red dot on the tongue, which makes it particularly advanced. Each flower is like a small work of art. The petals are delicate and tender, and the delicate texture adds a bit of exquisiteness. Placed in any corner of the home, it can instantly enhance the style of the entire space.

In terms of flowering period, the flowering period of Phalaenopsis Rainbow Unicorn is relatively long. Generally speaking, it can last for two to three months or even longer. During this time, you can fully enjoy its beauty and bring endless pleasure to your life.

However, if not properly cared for, the leaves may turn yellow and become soft. Don't worry. Here's what to do.

When you find that the leaves are yellow and soft, first check the watering situation. Phalaenopsis likes a humid environment but cannot be overwatered, otherwise, it is easy to cause root rot. If it is caused by excessive watering, stop watering in time and place the plant in a well-ventilated place to allow the excess water to evaporate as soon as possible.

Secondly, it may be due to insufficient or excessive light. Phalaenopsis is suitable for growing in a scattered light environment and avoid direct sunlight. If there is insufficient light, you can move it to a bright place; if the light is too strong, proper shading is needed.

It may also be due to improper fertilization. Too much or too little fertilization will affect the growth of phalaenopsis. During the growth period, you can apply some thin liquid fertilizer in moderation, but be careful not to apply strong fertilizer.

Next, let's talk about how to care for Phalaenopsis Rainbow Unicorn on a daily basis.

Light: As mentioned earlier, give appropriate scattered light and avoid direct sunlight. It can be placed by the window or in a bright indoor corner.

Temperature: Phalaenopsis likes a warm environment. The suitable growth temperature is 15°C - 25°C. Pay attention to keeping warm in winter to avoid getting cold.

Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. You can use a watering can to spray water to increase air humidity.

Fertilization: Apply a thin liquid fertilizer once every one to two weeks during the growth period. Be careful not to apply it on flowers and leaves.

Finally, let's talk about the precautions for caring for Phalaenopsis Rainbow Unicorn.

Don't move the plant frequently to avoid affecting its growth.

Avoid placing phalaenopsis in a drafty place to prevent the flowers from being damaged by the wind.

Clean up fallen leaves and residual flowers in time to keep the plant clean.
