Phalaenopsis is one of the favorite flowers, especially before the Spring Festival, it naturally becomes one of the top choices for everyone. However, for many Phalaenopsis lovers, its beauty lies not only in the flowers, but also in the accompanying leaves.
On this issue, most flower shop owners will tell you that the growth of new leaves of Phalaenopsis depends entirely on the natural environment and cannot be interfered with by humans. Is this really the case? Let's take a look below.
Strictly speaking, the growth of new leaves of Phalaenopsis is indeed affected by natural factors, such as light, temperature, humidity and other effects. In an ideal natural environment, Phalaenopsis can naturally grow healthy leaves because it will continuously adapt to the environment to complete its growth. However, in the case of indoor cultivation, it is often difficult for us to provide conditions that are completely in line with nature, and then human intervention is needed to assist its growth.
In an ideal natural environment, the growth of Phalaenopsis needs to meet the conditions of light, temperature and humidity. In terms of light, the growth of new leaves of Phalaenopsis can be promoted by manually adjusting the light. Phalaenopsis likes light, but it should not be directly exposed to the sun. It needs soft scattered light. If it is exposed to the sun for a long time, the leaves may be burned. Therefore, it is best to keep Phalaenopsis indoors and install an adjustable shading net at its placement position. At the same time, the position of the plant also needs to be adjusted regularly to control the intensity and direction of the light. If the sky is overcast for a long time, it may be necessary to purchase additional grow lights for illumination, supplementing 4 - 6 hours of bright scattered light every day.
Another factor is that the temperature and humidity can be adjusted manually, which can also affect the growth of new leaves of Phalaenopsis. Its ideal growth temperature range is 18 to 28 degrees Celsius. As long as the temperature is within this range, Phalaenopsis can grow healthily. However, if the temperature is too high or too low, the leaves will enter a dormant state. In order to maintain a suitable growth environment, we can achieve this by setting up humidifiers, ventilation equipment or adjusting the indoor temperature.
Finally, in the process of artificial maintenance, appropriate fertilization can also provide the necessary nutrients and moisture to support the growth of new leaves.
