Daily Maintenance
Light: Phalaenopsis 'Hongyun Caishen' prefers bright but indirect light. It can be placed near a windowsill indoors where there is diffused light. If the light is too strong, the leaves are likely to get sunburned; if there is insufficient light, it will affect flower - bud differentiation, resulting in fewer flowers.
Temperature: The most suitable temperature for its growth is between 18 - 28°C. In winter, keep it away from the wind outlet, and the temperature should not be lower than 10°C, otherwise it is easily frost - bitten.
Watering: Follow the principle of "watering when the soil is dry and not watering when it is wet". Insert your finger 2 - 3 centimeters into the planting medium, and water only when it feels dry. Don't water too frequently, otherwise the roots are likely to rot. And when watering, try to water at the roots, not on the center of the leaves, to prevent waterlogging and rotting.
Fertilization: During the growth period, a thin, special orchid fertilizer can be applied once every 1 - 2 weeks to promote the growth of the plant. Before the flowering period, increase the application of phosphorus - potassium fertilizers, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which can make the flower spikes strong and the flowers large and colorful.

Precautions
Repotting: For the newly - bought Phalaenopsis 'Hongyun Caishen', don't rush to repot it. Wait until it has finished blooming and adapted for a while. When repotting, choose breathable sphagnum moss or bark as the planting medium.
Pests and Diseases: Pay more attention to the state of the plant usually. If aphids or scale insects are found, spray and kill them in time with pesticides like Huahuashen. Detect and treat problems as early as possible.
