As a medium - to - large - flowered variety, the Phalaenopsis 'Zixia Fairy' has attracted the attention of numerous flower enthusiasts with its unique and elegant charm. Its large lip design, combined with pure white petals and a large, light - purple - bordered "tongue", features a color combination that is both fresh and exudes nobility, making it a favorite among many flower lovers.

The characteristics of its leaves are also one of the irresistible charms of the Phalaenopsis 'Zixia Fairy'. The large leaf span not only demonstrates its robust vitality but also adds to the overall grandeur of the plant. The leaves are thick and firm. This texture is not only beneficial for the plant to carry out efficient photosynthesis but also provides good support and protection for the plant, enabling it to better adapt to various growth environments.

What's more remarkable is that the Phalaenopsis 'Zixia Fairy' performs extremely well. Compared to the short - lived splendor of many flowers, its flowering period is quite long. With meticulous care, the flowers can remain in bloom for several months.

Caring for the 'Zixia Fairy' doesn't require excessive effort. In terms of lighting, the Phalaenopsis 'Zixia Fairy' has a moderate need for light. It requires light for photosynthesis to maintain healthy growth, yet it can't endure excessive exposure to sunlight. Therefore, simply place it in a well - lit area indoors, avoiding direct sunlight. For example, on a coffee table near the window in the living room or in a corner of the windowsill with gentle light in the bedroom are both good placement locations. Such an environment allows the 'Zixia Fairy' to receive sufficient and suitable diffused light, keeping its leaves green and its flowers more delicate and charming.

Regarding watering, the 'Zixia Fairy' doesn't need to be watered too frequently. It prefers a relatively dry growing environment, as over - watering can easily lead to various problems. The correct approach is to thoroughly water the plant only after the soil surface is slightly dry. When watering, ensure that the water can fully penetrate the soil so that all the roots of the plant can absorb the water, but be careful to prevent waterlogging. Waterlogging can keep the roots in an oxygen - deficient state for a long time, resulting in root rot and seriously affecting the health of the plant. To determine whether the soil is dry, you can observe the color and texture of the soil surface, or insert your finger 2 - 3 centimeters into the soil to feel its dryness or wetness.

In terms of temperature, it is suitable for growth in an environment with a temperature range of 15 - 28 degrees Celsius. Within this temperature range, the various physiological functions of the 'Zixia Fairy' can operate normally, and the plant can thrive. When the temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius, the growth rate of the 'Zixia Fairy' will slow down significantly, and it may even enter a dormant state. When the temperature is above 28 degrees Celsius, it may exert certain stress on the plant, affecting its flowering and overall aesthetics. Therefore, in the hot summer, pay attention to providing appropriate shade and cooling for the plant; in the cold winter, move the 'Zixia Fairy' to a warm indoor area and take good insulation measures.
