The flowers of Phalaenopsis bicolor bird are huge and gorgeous, and the petals are delicate in texture. Its flower shape is unique, usually presenting a contrast of two distinct colors. It is like a colorful bird spreading its wings to fly. This is also the reason why it is named "bicolor bird". The color combinations of the petals are rich and diverse. Commonly seen are white and purple, pink and yellow, etc. Each combination gives a strong visual impact. Its plant is relatively tall and straight, with broad and lustrous leaves that are oblong in shape and emerald green in color, providing a good backdrop for the flowers. The inflorescence is relatively long, and the flowers are arranged in order, with an appropriate density, and the overall shape is beautiful and generous.
Phalaenopsis bicolor bird is native to tropical regions and likes a warm and humid environment. It has relatively strict requirements for temperature. The suitable growth temperature is generally between 20℃ and 30℃. In winter, the temperature cannot be lower than 15℃, otherwise it is easy to be damaged by frost. At the same time, it also has relatively high requirements for humidity. The relative air humidity should be maintained at about 60% to 80%. Phalaenopsis bicolor bird usually attaches to tree trunks or rocks and has strong aerial roots. These aerial roots can absorb moisture and nutrients from the air and provide support for the growth of the plant.
The maintenance of Phalaenopsis bicolor bird is relatively difficult to a certain extent. Due to its relatively harsh requirements for the growth environment, flower growers need to have certain professional knowledge and experience. The control of temperature and humidity is the key. In winter, it needs to be provided with a warm environment to avoid being cold. At the same time, increase air humidity by spraying water and other methods to meet its growth needs. Light is also an important factor affecting the growth of Phalaenopsis bicolor bird. It likes scattered light and cannot be directly exposed to strong sunlight, otherwise it is easy to sunburn the leaves and flowers. Therefore, during the maintenance process, it is necessary to choose an appropriate location to place it, such as a place near a window but avoiding direct sunlight.
Phalaenopsis bicolor bird is suitable to grow in a loose, breathable, and well-drained substrate. Generally, sphagnum moss, bark, coconut shell, etc. can be selected as cultivation substrates. These substrates can not only maintain a certain amount of moisture but also ensure good air permeability, which is beneficial to the growth of the root system. Watering should be appropriate, not too much or too little. Generally speaking, keep the substrate moist but not waterlogged. During the growth period, the watering frequency can be appropriately increased, but avoid watering at night to avoid causing diseases. Fertilization should pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently. You can choose special Phalaenopsis fertilizers and fertilize according to the instructions. Before and after the flowering period, the application amount of phosphorus fertilizer can be appropriately increased to promote the opening and growth of flowers.
Phalaenopsis bicolor bird has unique appearance characteristics and growth habits. Although the maintenance is somewhat difficult, as long as the correct maintenance methods are mastered, for flower lovers, Phalaenopsis bicolor bird is undoubtedly a flower variety worthy of challenge and attempt.
