Purple Crystal Phalaenopsis is a treasure among flowers. Its color is as noble and elegant as amethyst, and its flower shape is beautiful. So, is Purple Crystal Phalaenopsis a summer flower? And is it easy to cultivate?
The flowering period of Purple Crystal Phalaenopsis is not strictly exclusive to summer. The flowering period of phalaenopsis is usually affected by multiple factors, including variety characteristics, growing environment, and cultivation conditions. Purple Crystal Phalaenopsis generally blooms in relatively warm seasons, but this is not limited to summer. It may bloom from late spring to early autumn. The uncertainty of its flowering period makes it impossible for us to simply define it as a summer flower. In a suitable environment, Purple Crystal Phalaenopsis can bring beautiful flowers to people at different times. If cultivated properly, it may bloom during a period of moderate temperature and suitable light, and this period is not necessarily summer.
For example, in a greenhouse environment, the flowering period of Purple Crystal Phalaenopsis can be controlled by adjusting factors such as temperature, light, and humidity to make it bloom at a specific time. In home cultivation, due to the relatively complex environmental conditions, its flowering period may be even more difficult to predict.
Purple Crystal Phalaenopsis likes a semi-shady environment and avoids direct strong sunlight. In home cultivation, it can be placed in a bright, diffused light place, such as near a window but avoiding direct sunlight. If the light is too strong, it may cause sunburn on the leaves and affect the growth and flowering of the plant.
The suitable growth temperature is 18℃ - 28℃. Purple Crystal Phalaenopsis is relatively sensitive to temperature, and too high or too low temperatures will have an adverse impact on its growth. In winter, pay attention to keeping warm to avoid the plant being frozen due to too low temperature; in summer, pay attention to ventilation and cooling to prevent the hot and stuffy environment from affecting the growth of the plant.
It likes a relatively high air humidity, generally requiring about 60% - 80%. In a dry environment, air humidity can be increased by spraying water and using a humidifier to meet the growth needs of Purple Crystal Phalaenopsis.
The root system of Purple Crystal Phalaenopsis is a fleshy root and does not tolerate waterlogging. When watering, follow the principle of "water when dry", that is, wait until the surface of the substrate is dry before watering. At the same time, avoid excessive watering to prevent root rot. When watering, be careful not to pour water on the leaves and flowers to avoid causing diseases.
During the growth period, fertilization can be carried out regularly to meet the growth needs of the plant. Generally, special phalaenopsis fertilizers can be selected and fertilized according to the instructions. When fertilizing, pay attention to not having too high a concentration to avoid burning the roots.
Purple Crystal Phalaenopsis is not strictly a summer flower, and its flowering period is affected by multiple factors. In terms of cultivation, Purple Crystal Phalaenopsis is somewhat challenging, but as long as the correct methods are mastered, it can also be successfully cultivated.
