In the busy urban life, many flower lovers like to keep some pleasing "flowers" at home to adjust their daily restless minds. When it comes to the most popular flowers, Phalaenopsis is definitely on the list. However, for the conservation of Phalaenopsis, many people only know the general idea but ignore many small details. The most overlooked action is that when the first flower bud of Phalaenopsis grows up, its pot orientation cannot be easily moved. So why is there such a particularity?
Why can't Phalaenopsis be easily moved before the first flower bud grows up? This is because uneven light irradiation can easily occur, and later when the flower bud grows up, it will be crooked and the flower shape will be very unattractive. The reason is that the flower buds of Phalaenopsis are very sensitive to light. Once the flower buds start to grow, they will gradually adjust and grow towards the side close to the sun.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the flower shape of Phalaenopsis is beautiful in the future, you can adjust the placement direction of the flower pot before Phalaenopsis blooms. Do not move or shift it at will before the first flower bud starts to grow, so as not to affect the growth direction of the flower bud. After Phalaenopsis has grown up later, the light direction can be appropriately adjusted. This can help some flower buds that have not fully bloomed.
Generally speaking, in terms of Phalaenopsis conservation, its requirements for water management are not strict, but waterlogging needs to be avoided. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about watering. In addition, Phalaenopsis also occasionally needs fertilization and pruning. In terms of fertilization, it is recommended to apply an appropriate amount of fertilizer to Phalaenopsis regularly. You can choose special orchid fertilizer and dilute it according to the recommended ratio on the instructions. In terms of pruning, if there is withered root or the root is too long, simple pruning can also be done.
In short, although this small detail of moving potted plants seems inadvertent, it is a key action that can lock in the better ornamental value of Phalaenopsis in the later stage. Therefore, when raising Phalaenopsis at home, in addition to paying attention to fixing the placement direction of the flower pot, also pay attention to creating a familiar growth environment for Phalaenopsis.
