Phalaenopsis "Yucheng Prince" belongs to the medium-sized flower type. The size of its flowers is moderate, with a diameter of about 6 - 7 centimeters. Each flower is delicate and lovely. Moreover, it has two flower spikes, and the quantity of flowers is very abundant. When it blooms, the flowers are packed closely together, giving people a visual enjoyment of a sea of blossoms.

There are also some fine small spots, which make the flowers look more lively and vivid. The blooming is particularly flat, and the overall flower shape is elegant and generous, giving people a neat and orderly aesthetic feeling. Although its flower spikes are relatively short, it doesn't affect its ornamental value. Instead, it makes the flowers look more compact and concentrated, with a unique charm.

Overall, "Yucheng Prince" is a relatively easy-to-cultivate variety of Phalaenopsis. As long as you master the basic cultivation points, you can make it bloom beautifully at home.

Daily cultivation:

Light: Phalaenopsis "Yucheng Prince" prefers bright, filtered light and avoid direct sunlight. It can be placed near the window but covered by a gauze curtain. In this way, it can ensure sufficient light without getting the flowers and leaves burned by the sun.

Temperature: The suitable growth temperature is between 18 - 28 °C. Pay attention to keeping it warm in winter. The temperature should not be lower than 15 °C, otherwise it may affect its growth and flowering.

Watering: Follow the principle of "watering when the soil is dry". Insert your finger about 2 - 3 centimeters into the soil. If it feels dry, you can water it. When watering, make sure the water penetrates thoroughly until it flows out from the bottom of the pot, but avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.

Fertilization: During the growing season (spring and autumn), apply a thin liquid fertilizer every 2 - 3 weeks. Increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering, which can make the flowers more colorful and long-lasting.

Precautions:

Ventilation is very important! Keep the cultivation environment well-ventilated. Otherwise, bacteria, pests and diseases are prone to breed.
Don't move its position frequently. Phalaenopsis is relatively sensitive to environmental changes. Moving it randomly may cause flower buds to drop or poor growth.
