Planting steps: Carefully take Phalaenopsis Santa Rosa out of the original pot, gently remove the old substrate, and check if there is any damage or rot in the root system. If there is a problem, deal with it in time. Then put the plant into the new pot and slowly fill in the substrate to fix the plant. Be careful not to bury it too deep and let the root system stretch naturally.

Temperature: Appropriate temperature is crucial for the growth of Santa Rosa. It prefers a warm environment. The most suitable temperature is between 18℃ and 28℃. In winter, pay attention to keeping warm to prevent cold.

Fertilization: During the growth period, you can fertilize Santa Rosa regularly. Choose special orchid fertilizer and fertilize according to the instructions. Do not over-fertilize.

Precautions:
Avoid frequent moving: Santa Rosa doesn't like frequent changes in position. Try to choose a fixed place to place it and let it adapt to the environment.
