Today, I would like to introduce to you with emphasis a particularly charming Phalaenopsis orchid - Phalaenopsis 'Coffee Nobile' with golden edges. It belongs to the small-flowered type of Phalaenopsis orchids. The flower color is in the romantic and enchanting rose red color series. The small and delicate flowers cluster together at the branches, which is really beautiful.

Phalaenopsis 'Coffee Nobile' with golden edges is truly a "favorite" in the orchid world and is deeply loved by everyone. It has a particularly worry-free feature, that is, it has a low demand for light. Even if there is no balcony with particularly sufficient light at home, as long as it is placed on the windowsill facing east or south indoors, it can grow and bloom normally. If it is well taken care of, the flowering period can last for two to three months. Every Spring Festival, while other people's flowers are still in dormancy, it quietly blooms, adding a festive atmosphere to the festival.

Daily Maintenance

Watering: Phalaenopsis 'Coffee Nobile' with golden edges likes a moist environment but is afraid of waterlogging. Follow the principle of "watering when the soil is dry and seeing the soil get wet". Insert your finger 2-3 centimeters into the planting medium. If it feels dry, you can water it. Generally, water it 1-2 times a week, and adjust the specific frequency according to the season and environmental humidity. When watering, slowly water it thoroughly along the edge of the flower pot, and avoid watering directly on the flowers and leaves.

Fertilization: During the vigorous growth period (spring and autumn), apply a thin special fertilizer for orchids once every 1-2 weeks, or apply liquid fertilizer diluted 1000-1500 times. When the growth is slow in winter and summer, reduce the frequency of fertilization or suspend fertilization. When fertilizing, apply thin fertilizers frequently to avoid burning the roots with concentrated fertilizers.

Temperature: The suitable growth temperature is between 18°C and 28°C. In winter, it should be kept above 10°C, otherwise it is prone to frost damage. When the temperature is high in summer, pay attention to ventilation and cooling. If it exceeds 32°C, it will affect the growth.

Precautions

Potting Change: It is necessary to change the pot once every 1-2 years, preferably after the flowers wither. When changing the pot, operate carefully to avoid damaging the roots, and choose a planting medium with good air permeability, such as bark, sphagnum moss, etc.

Pest and Disease Control: Common diseases include soft rot and anthracnose. Usually, pay attention to ventilation and keep the environment dry. When diseases are found, cut off the diseased leaves in time and spray fungicides such as carbendazim. The main pests are aphids and red spider mites, which can be controlled with insecticides such as soapy water or Huahuashen.
