Watering is one of the key links in raising Phalaenopsis Golden Princess. Because its roots are aerial roots and have a strong water storage capacity, watering should not be too frequent or excessive. The principle of "water when dry" should be followed. Water when the surface of the cultivation substrate is dry. When watering, water thoroughly but avoid water accumulation.
At the same time, attention should also be paid to maintaining the air humidity between 60% and 80%. The air humidity can be increased by spraying water around the plant or using a humidifier. In terms of fertilization, Phalaenopsis Golden Princess has relatively low fertilizer requirements. During the vigorous growth season, a thin liquid fertilizer can be applied every 1 to 2 weeks.
The cultivation substrate for Phalaenopsis Golden Princess usually selects materials with good air permeability, such as moss, bark, and sphagnum moss. Regularly changing the cultivation substrate helps maintain the air permeability and fertility of the substrate and provides a good growth environment for the plant.
In addition, pest and disease control is also a link that cannot be ignored in raising Phalaenopsis Golden Princess. Common pests and diseases include anthrax, soft rot, scale insects, etc. The plants should be inspected regularly. Once pests and diseases are found, corresponding control measures should be taken promptly, such as spraying pesticides and pruning diseased leaves.
