Entering September, the weather in the south is still hot, which remains a greater challenge for flower enthusiasts who maintain flowers outdoors. Therefore, those who have the conditions had better move the plants indoors for maintenance. Today, let's talk about what else should be paid attention to when maintaining phalaenopsis indoors in still hot weather?
Although flower enthusiasts move phalaenopsis indoors, if it is placed near a glass window through which sunlight can penetrate, it may also cause its leaves to wilt and turn yellow due to excessive direct sunlight. Here, some flower enthusiasts can't help but ask, why is phalaenopsis so afraid of direct sunlight? The biggest reason is related to the plant's own physique. Because its native environment is under the shade of trees in the tropical rainforest, it loves to grow in places without direct sunlight. If we cannot create scattered light or indirect illumination for it, this may affect the growth of the plant and lead to situations such as premature withering of flowers. Therefore, in order to maintain the growth state and beauty of phalaenopsis, we should try to simulate placing it in a semi-shaded environment.
So, in still relatively hot weather, how can we create a relatively suitable growth environment for phalaenopsis? First, consider adopting some environments without direct sunlight. It is recommended to place them in places with sufficient scattered light, such as a windowsill behind a curtain. Secondly, maintaining slightly moist soil is also the key to maintenance in hot weather. Water regularly, but make sure there are enough drainage holes at the bottom of the pot to drain excess water. When watering, avoid excessive water causing root rot. In addition, when the temperature is higher than 28 degrees Celsius, it may be necessary to increase air circulation. You can also use a fan to blow gently, but avoid strong winds directly blowing on the plant. Finally, pay attention to observing the growth status of phalaenopsis and adjust maintenance measures in time.
In addition to the matters that need attention as mentioned above, in relatively hot weather, appropriate fertilization is also needed. Here it is recommended to choose some fertilizers rich in elements such as phosphorus and potassium for phalaenopsis. This can help them differentiate flower buds and thus achieve the flowering landscape.
