In the early days, many young people liked to grow some "forever flowers". These flowers not only retain their appearance forever, but also don't need to be watered every day. However, the disadvantage is that they have no vitality. Therefore, young people nowadays prefer to grow fresh potted flowers.
So, which flowers have a long flowering period and are beautiful? Of course, Phalaenopsis is one of them. As long as it is properly maintained, its waxy petals can bloom for 3 to 6 months, which is N times more durable than most fresh flowers. Moreover, the most important thing is that it doesn't need water changing and doesn't attract insects.
Although Phalaenopsis is highly ornamental, there are often various unsolvable problems in its maintenance. For example, some flower growers have asked: "I grow Phalaenopsis on the balcony using sphagnum moss as the medium. However, the temperature, humidity, and light on the balcony are all unstable. If I grow several pots of Phalaenopsis and place them closely together, and water them less frequently, can this help the orchids bloom more beautifully?"
I believe many flower growers have had the same thought as the one mentioned above. In fact, the idea of planting several Phalaenopsis together to help each other retain moisture is quite good. But if we always focus on creating a good environment for the orchids while often forgetting the plant's instinct of domestication, it would be a pity.
Generally, the Phalaenopsis bought from the flower market are usually grown in greenhouses before. The temperature in the greenhouse is relatively stable, the humidity is always high, and the duration and intensity of light are most suitable for the growth of Phalaenopsis.
However, when we bring it home, the humidity becomes lower and the light becomes stronger or weaker from time to time. At this time, the orchid will inevitably have some problems. For example, the leaves become limp, stop growing, the newly grown leaves are smaller than the original ones, and the roots will also be a little shriveled.
During this period, flower growers can actually feel at ease. As long as they do the two things of proper watering and reasonable lighting well, they can help the orchid recover its state as soon as possible. At the same time, before the Phalaenopsis recovers, don't be in a hurry to fertilize it, otherwise it may instead add a burden to it.
