Phalaenopsis 'Niuji Blackface' exudes a sense of luxury. It has a medium - large flower type, with well - shaped and plump blooms. Each petal seems to be meticulously carved. The petals are rich in red and deep in purple, and their velvety texture adds a touch of mystery and luxury. Placed at home, it instantly becomes the visual focus, demonstrating an extraordinary taste. It's the perfect choice for decorating your home during the New Year. Moreover, its flowering period is relatively long, allowing this beauty to accompany us throughout the New Year holiday, making it highly cost - effective!

Some flower lovers may encounter the problem of short flower stalks in Phalaenopsis 'Niuji'. Don't worry! This may be caused by insufficient light, temperature, and nutrients. You can place it in a brightly lit area, avoiding direct sunlight, so that it can fully carry out photosynthesis. For example, a position near the window in the living room can ensure sufficient scattered light without sunburning the plant. Keep the temperature between 18 - 25°C, as this range is most suitable for its growth.

If flower lovers in the north have heating at home, they should pay attention to proper ventilation to avoid excessive temperatures. Friends in the south should be mindful of the low winter temperatures and take some warming measures if necessary. Nutrients are also essential. Apply a thin solution of phosphorus - potassium fertilizer every 1 - 2 weeks to stimulate the growth of flower stalks. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate is a good choice. Dilute it in a ratio of 1:1000 and then water the plant. After persevering for a while, the flower stalks will grow vigorously.

Do you want your beautiful Phalaenopsis to bloom for a longer time? Don't water it too frequently. Wait until the soil surface is dry before watering, and water thoroughly each time to prevent waterlogging and root rot. You can insert your finger 2 - 3 centimeters into the soil. If it feels dry, then it's time to water. Temperature is crucial. Keep the night temperature between 15 - 18°C and the day temperature between 20 - 25°C. This temperature difference can extend the flowering period. Also, avoid moving it frequently and let it grow in a stable environment.

In addition, spray a diluted solution of potassium dihydrogen phosphate once every 1 - 2 weeks to supplement nutrients and make the flowers bloom longer. During the flowering period, try to reduce the concentration and frequency of fertilization to avoid fertilizer damage.
