Phalaenopsis can be regarded as the dream flower in the hearts of many friends. After blooming, it presents a posture like a dancing butterfly, which is very special and beautiful. However, during the maintenance process, we will find that among the blooming Phalaenopsis flowers, some flowers occasionally wither quickly. What on earth is going on? The following text will discuss the phenomenon that Phalaenopsis flowers are prone to withering.
During the flowering period of Phalaenopsis, some flowers suddenly wither quickly. The possible reasons are that the Phalaenopsis is affected by the surrounding environment, such as unsuitable temperature, humidity or too strong light. It may also be attacked by pests and diseases. After a large number of insects reproduce, they will damage the health of the flowers, thus shortening the flowering period. In addition, the metabolic rate of the flowers themselves may also affect their lifespan. So, what aspects should be managed in daily maintenance?
First, let's talk about the situation where the flowers wither due to the external environment. Phalaenopsis originally comes from the tropical rainforest and belongs to an epiphytic plant. Its root system is very slender, so it is more sensitive than other ordinary soil - based flowers. Therefore, if it feels that the environmental temperature and humidity are too high or too low during its growth, it will directly start the life - saving mode, first accelerating the withering process of the flowers, so that the plant can adopt emergency physiology to maintain its life. Here, it is recommended that when cultivating Phalaenopsis, pay more attention to the weather forecast, control the temperature timely, and try to avoid drastic fluctuations in temperature.
Secondly, the problem of light is mostly ignored by flower lovers. Phalaenopsis likes light, but at the same time, it cannot be exposed to too strong sunlight, which will damage the flowers and cause them to wither quickly. In maintenance, a shaded placement position should be selected, that is, let it receive scattered light, and let the flowers receive sufficient light for photosynthesis to extend the lifespan of the flowers.
In addition, the water management of Phalaenopsis also directly affects its growth and flowering. Reasonable water supply can ensure the health of Phalaenopsis and avoid root diseases caused by excessive watering or lack of water. A moderately humid environment is helpful for Phalaenopsis to absorb nutrients, and at the same time, it is also helpful for the colors of the flowers to be more vivid.
