Today, I'm going to introduce in detail a stunningly beautiful Phalaenopsis variety to you - Red Apple.

Phalaenopsis Red Apple belongs to the medium - large flower type. Its flower diameter is about 7 - 9 centimeters. Compared with some small and delicate Phalaenopsis varieties, the flowers of Red Apple look more magnificent.

The flowering period of the Phalaenopsis Red Apple is relatively long. Generally, it can keep blooming for 2 - 3 months under suitable conditions. From the initial blooming of the flowers to full bloom, and then to the final gradual withering, it can bring us beautiful companionship for a long time.

Overall, the Phalaenopsis Red Apple is a relatively easy - to - grow variety. It has a certain adaptability to the environment, but if we want it to thrive, we still need to give it some careful care. As long as the correct maintenance methods are mastered, even novice flower growers can grow it well and enjoy its charming flowers.

Planting and maintenance methods:

1. Substrate selection: Sphagnum moss, bark, coir dust, etc. can be selected as substrates. For the Red Apple Phalaenopsis, sphagnum moss is a good choice. Soak the sphagnum moss and wring it out until it doesn't drip, then wrap the roots of the Phalaenopsis and put it in the flowerpot. Such a substrate can not only maintain a certain amount of moisture but also ensure that the roots have enough air to breathe.
2. Light requirements: The Red Apple Phalaenopsis likes bright, scattered light and avoid direct sunlight. It can be placed near an east - or west - facing windowsill, or use a shade net to block some of the sunlight so that it receives gentle light in the morning or evening.
3. Temperature control: The suitable temperature for the growth of the Phalaenopsis Red Apple is between 15 - 28 °C. In winter, pay attention to keeping it warm and it can be moved to a warm place indoors. In summer when the temperature is high, pay attention to ventilation and cooling to avoid high temperatures affecting the growth of the plant.
4. Watering points: The Red Apple Phalaenopsis likes a humid environment, but there should be no waterlogging. Generally speaking, insert your finger into the sphagnum moss substrate. If it feels dry, you can water it. Water thoroughly until the water flows out from the bottom of the pot. But be careful to avoid water staying in the leaf center, otherwise, it is easy to cause the heart to rot.

Precautions:

1. Appropriate fertilization: During the growth season of Phalaenopsis, pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently and avoid burning the roots with concentrated fertilizers. Reduce fertilization during the flowering period and dormancy period.
2. Good ventilation: Ventilation can reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases and make the plant breathe more smoothly.
3. Avoid frequent movement: Frequent position changes may cause flowers to drop and growth to be blocked.
