I believe that all flower lovers cannot resist the intoxicating flower of phalaenopsis orchids, so if there is space at home, one or two pots of phalaenopsis orchids will be placed. However, although phalaenopsis orchids are beautiful, their growth habits are very difficult to figure out, especially the number of leaves on their plants. Maybe only two to three leaves will grow after one year of cultivation. Therefore, many flower enthusiasts have begun to wonder, what exactly limits phalaenopsis orchids from growing more leaves? The following text will discuss the mystery behind the growth of phalaenopsis orchids based on the above questions.
To properly maintain phalaenopsis orchids, it is necessary to manage the temperature and humidity well. Because phalaenopsis orchids are originally tropical plants, both the temperature and humidity need to reach the levels that phalaenopsis orchids prefer for them to thrive. If the temperature or humidity is too high or too low, it may prevent them from blooming properly, and in severe cases, they may even die directly.
So, what is the suitable temperature for phalaenopsis orchids? Usually, it is between 18°C and 30°C. If the temperature cannot be maintained within this range, it will affect the normal development of its leaves and roots. If the temperature exceeds 30°C, the plants may enter a dormant state and stop growing. It is recommended to consider purchasing a sunshade or moving them to a shady position at noon. If the temperature is too low, it will affect the life of the entire plant. It is recommended to consider using heating equipment to maintain a stable temperature.
In terms of humidity, phalaenopsis orchids prefer a high-humidity environment, and the optimal humidity index is between 60% and 80%. If the humidity is too low, it will cause the leaves to dry out, lose moisture, and finally turn yellow and wither. If the humidity is too high, it is prone to the growth of bacteria, leading to rot. Therefore, it is recommended to observe the soil condition frequently when maintaining at home. When the humidity in the room is appropriate, methods such as spraying water and using a humidifier can be used to increase the humidity.
In conclusion, the leaf growth of phalaenopsis orchids is affected by temperature and humidity. Extreme temperatures and humidities should be avoided, otherwise, it will directly affect the healthy growth of phalaenopsis orchids. In home maintenance, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining suitable temperature and humidity in the room and try to create a good growth environment for them. Only in this way can phalaenopsis orchids grow healthily and vigorously.
