In terms of maintenance, Purple Fragrant Lady is not as difficult as imagined.

Soil selection:
Phalaenopsis Purple Fragrant Lady likes a breathable and well-drained medium. Sphagnum moss, bark or special soil for orchids can be selected as the cultivation substrate. Sphagnum moss has good moisture retention, and bark has strong breathability. Each has its own advantages.

Watering points:
Watering is the key! Purple Fragrant Lady likes moisture but is afraid of water accumulation. Generally in spring and summer, during the vigorous growth period, water can be poured once every 2 - 3 days; in autumn and winter, when the temperature drops, the watering frequency should be reduced, and watering once every 5 - 7 days is fine. When watering, pay attention to pouring along the edge of the pot and avoid pouring into the leaf heart, otherwise it is easy to cause rot.

Light demand:
It likes scattered light and avoids direct sunlight. Placing it by a bright indoor window or on a shaded balcony is the most suitable. Too strong sunlight will burn the leaves and flowers and cause the flower color to fade.

Temperature control:
Appropriate temperature is crucial for the growth of Purple Fragrant Lady. Keep the temperature at 25 - 28°C during the day and 18 - 20°C at night. In winter, pay attention to keeping warm. The temperature cannot be lower than 15°C, otherwise it will affect growth and flowering.

Good ventilation:
A good ventilation environment can reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases. Open windows frequently for ventilation and let the air circulate so that Purple Fragrant Lady can breathe fresh air.

Fertilization skills:
During the growing season, apply a thin liquid fertilizer once a month. Before flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied to promote flower bud differentiation and flowering. But when fertilizing, pay attention to the concentration not being too high to avoid burning the roots.

Pruning and repotting:
After the flowers wither, cut off the remaining flowers and flower stalks in time. Change the pot once every 1 - 2 years in spring and replace the new substrate to provide a better growing environment for it.

Pest control:
Check the leaves and flowers regularly. If pests and diseases are found, deal with them in time. Common diseases include soft rot and anthracnose, which can be controlled with fungicides such as carbendazim; common pests include scale insects and aphids, which can be sprayed and killed with pesticides such as omethoate.
