The Phalaenopsis "Purple Narcissus" is not a waxy flower. Its petals are soft and resilient in texture, presenting delicate textures under the light. This unique texture makes it highly recognizable among a variety of Phalaenopsis species. The edges of the petals are slightly curled, resembling the delicate lace on a butterfly's wings, adding a bit of vivid beauty to it.

The Phalaenopsis "Purple Narcissus" is a typical summer flower. When the summer sun shines all over the ground, it ushers in its own moment of glory. Its flowering period usually lasts for 2 to 3 months. Under careful cultivation, it may even be extended further. During this time, its flowers bloom one after another. From the initial flower buds to the delicate and beautiful appearance when fully bloomed, every stage is full of vitality.

However, just as there are no perfect people, the same is true for flowers. The drawback of the Phalaenopsis "Purple Narcissus" is that it is prone to fading. As the flowering period progresses, the originally bright purple petals will gradually fade, which may slightly reduce its appearance. But even so, it doesn't affect its popularity at all. Its flowers are a little bit larger than those of the Phalaenopsis "Amethyst", making it look more magnificent. When you get closer, you can also smell a faint, subtle fragrance, adding a bit of unique charm to it.

Cultivation Key Points

Light Management: The Phalaenopsis "Purple Narcissus" prefers bright but diffused light and should be kept away from direct sunlight. Place it near a window indoors and use curtains or shade nets for appropriate shading to prevent the leaves from being sunburned. In the hot summer, pay special attention to avoiding long-term exposure to strong light.

Temperature Control: The suitable growth temperature for it is between 18°C and 28°C. In the hot summer, pay attention to ventilation and cooling. You can use devices such as fans or air conditioners to keep the temperature within the appropriate range. In winter, pay attention to keeping it warm to prevent the plant from being damaged by frost.

Water Management: Follow the principle of "watering when the soil is dry and then thoroughly". When watering, make sure to water thoroughly, but do not let water accumulate in the pot to avoid root rot. In the hot summer, the water evaporates relatively quickly, so you can appropriately increase the frequency of watering; in winter, the temperature is low and the plant grows slowly, so reduce the number of waterings.

Fertilization Techniques: During the growing season, apply a thin liquid fertilizer every 1 to 2 weeks to provide sufficient nutrients. Before the flowering period, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote flower bud differentiation and the growth of flowers. When fertilizing, pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently to avoid burning the roots with concentrated fertilizers.
