I believe that every friend who grows potted plants hopes that both the flowerpot and the plant are equally beautiful. Many flower lovers put phalaenopsis in a crystal-clear glass bottle. However, different flowerpot maintenance methods actually require some consideration. Let's learn about it together in the following text.

Want to create a "crystal palace" for phalaenopsis? Most friends will think of using a transparent glass bottle. Because of the unique transparent texture of glass, you can see every root and even every leaf inside through the vase. So among the numerous styles in the market, how can we choose a good one? First of all, it is recommended to choose a glass bottle of moderate size, not too large or too small. This can provide a comfortable growth space for phalaenopsis. At the same time, pay attention to the firmness of the glass bottle. It should be able to withstand a certain water pressure and the weight of the plant. Choose a wide bottle mouth for easier maintenance and pruning later.

Secondly, in the glass bottle, try to arrange reasonably according to the growth direction of the roots of phalaenopsis. You can buy some high-quality sphagnum moss without impurities (soak and clean it thoroughly), evenly pad it at the bottom of the glass bottle first, then gently cover the orchid roots with sphagnum moss evenly with moderate force. When capping, press the sphagnum moss tightly. After that, water reasonably to create a good living space for it.

Finally, in terms of maintenance, the advantage of a transparent glass bottle is that you can clearly observe the growth state of phalaenopsis in real time. If mildew spots or pests are found, you can replace it immediately. Therefore, it is recommended that when sphagnum moss is used as the soil medium, fresh sphagnum moss should be replaced regularly. In terms of watering, in addition to following the soil condition mainly based on moisture, it is also necessary to keep the water clean. It is recommended to let the water stand beside the phalaenopsis for a few days before using it. Of course, regular pruning of roots and leaves cannot be omitted in maintenance to keep the plant healthy and beautiful.

In general, using a transparent glass bottle to maintain phalaenopsis is a very good choice. In addition to reflecting a more elegant beauty, it can also let everyone notice the changes in the roots quickly. At the same time, everyone can also harvest the different changes of phalaenopsis every day, so that everyone can cherish this hard-won maintenance result even more.
