Today, I must recommend to you an incredibly beautiful Phalaenopsis - Golden Horse! It is definitely the most eye - catching presence in your home during spring.

The Phalaenopsis Golden Horse is of small - to - medium size with a slender plant shape. It is elegant and lively, taking up very little space. Whether placed on the windowsill, desk, or coffee table in the living room, it looks just right and exudes a sense of refinement.

The flower color of Golden Horse is truly remarkable. When it first blooms, it shows a rich mango yellow, just like a ripe mango emitting an alluring luster. As time goes by, the flower color gradually fades to a gentle light yellow. This color gradation is really fascinating.

The most pleasant surprise is that Golden Horse has numerous flower spikes. Once it reaches the flowering period, the flower spikes are densely covered with flowers, forming a large cluster, which is extremely lively. Placing it at home during the Spring Festival can instantly enhance the festive atmosphere. Relatives and friends will surely praise its beauty when they come. Moreover, Phalaenopsis itself has a beautiful meaning, symbolizing that happiness is flying towards you. Golden Horse makes this beauty more tangible, allowing you to feel full of happiness at home.

It's not difficult to cultivate. Provide it with sufficient diffused light in daily life, maintain a comfortable temperature of 15 - 25°C, and don't water it too frequently. Just water it thoroughly when the planting medium is dry.

Maintenance points:

Light: In spring, autumn, and winter, place it on the east - facing or south - facing windowsill, with 4 - 6 hours of diffused light per day. In summer, shade it to prevent sunburn.

Temperature: The suitable temperature is 15 - 25°C. In summer, it should not exceed 30°C, and in winter, it should not be lower than 10°C. Pay attention to keeping it warm.

Watering: Water thoroughly after the planting medium is dry, following the principle of dry - wet cycling. Avoid waterlogging and watering into the center of the leaves.

Planting medium: Use a well - ventilated and well - drained planting medium mixed with sphagnum moss, bark, and coconut coir. Replace the medium every spring.

Precautions:

Fertilize with thin fertilizers frequently. Use thin special orchid fertilizers 1 - 2 times a month during the growth period. Increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before the flowering period, which can make it bloom more and more beautifully. Do not fertilize during the dormant period, as it is easy to burn the roots.

After the flowers wither, promptly cut off the withered flowers. Cut them 2 - 3 nodes above the base of the flower stem, which can reduce nutrient consumption and may even lead to a second bloom!
