Today, let's talk about the extremely beautiful Phalaenopsis "Japanese Girl". It belongs to the medium to large flower type. The rose-red calyx is bright and eye-catching. The patterns on the pink petals are clear. The middle of the petals is a rich red color, and the edges gradually transition to white. It's amazing at first sight, and placing it at home can instantly enhance the style. Moreover, it's extremely easy to maintain, so novice gardeners and lazy flower lovers can choose it without hesitation.

**Repotting**
For novice flower growers, never repot the Phalaenopsis "Japanese Girl" easily. If you think the original pot doesn't look good and want to buy a beautiful flower pot, you can directly choose a pot one size larger as an outer pot. Frequent potting is a big taboo for Phalaenopsis orchids. It is very likely to cause the flower buds to fall off, and in severe cases, the plant may even die. Just let it grow comfortably in the original pot. It's not too late to consider repotting until it has adapted to the environment and its roots are stable.

**Aerial Roots**
Flower lovers who are growing Phalaenopsis orchids for the first time will surely be surprised to see the roots always growing outwards. In fact, these are the aerial roots of the Phalaenopsis orchid. Contact with the air can help it grow better. When you receive a Phalaenopsis "Japanese Girl" with lush aerial roots, don't cut them all off just for the sake of appearance. Keeping an appropriate part of them can make the Phalaenopsis grow more satisfactorily. These aerial roots are its little secret weapon for thriving.

**Watering**
When growing Phalaenopsis "Japanese Girl", you need to be "lazy". Frequent watering is likely to cause the stems to rot and accelerate the withering speed. Follow the principle of "watering when the soil is dry and seeing it through when watering" in daily watering. Watering once every 10 to 15 days is enough. You can also use a wooden toothpick to determine whether it's time to water: Insert the wooden toothpick into the soil and take it out after 5 minutes. If it doesn't change color, it's time to water; if it changes color, it means there is still moisture in the soil, and you can hold off on watering for now.

**Lighting**
Phalaenopsis "Japanese Girl" needs sunlight, but it can't be directly exposed to strong sunlight. A little scattered light is sufficient. Place it in a bright indoor place without direct sunlight, such as a position near the window in the living room with a sheer curtain drawn. This can meet its lighting needs without getting sunburned, and then it can grow vigorously and bloom.

**Reblooming**
For novices, it's a bit difficult to make Phalaenopsis orchids rebloom, but it's not impossible. When the flowers of Phalaenopsis "Japanese Girl" wither or the flower stalk is accidentally broken, don't throw it away immediately. Count from the bottom up to the 4th node on the flower stalk, and cut it directly with scissors about 1 cm above the node. Then place it in a place with scattered light and take care of it patiently. Maybe you can see its beautiful flowers bloom again after a period of time.
