I believe that every flower lover who likes Phalaenopsis can't help but praise it highly. That's because its flowers look like butterflies dancing gracefully. When it is placed by the window and a ray of light shines through the curtain, the scene is simply amazing, as if allowing people to appreciate the wonderful craftsmanship of nature. However, this is just the beginning. As the flower spike grows, Phalaenopsis truly enters a growth challenge called the "Hunger Games". In this game, they need to carefully control water, nutrients, temperature, and light in order to successfully give birth to beautiful flowers again. So, what should we do in daily care?
When Phalaenopsis enters the growth stage of the flower spike, its demand for nutrients and water can be extremely picky at this time. If there is too much watering at this time, the water will cause the roots to rot. And if there is a lack of nutrients, it will affect the shape of the flowers and the growth speed. Therefore, we need to master the precise regulation rules.
Firstly, the soil requirement for Phalaenopsis is to maintain a "slightly moist" state. For grasping this degree, it is recommended that you use your finger to press the sphagnum moss to feel it. The best state is that it is slightly moist, your hand won't get wet, and there is no waterlogging at the bottom of the flowerpot.
Secondly, regarding light and humidity, Phalaenopsis is a tropical plant, so it naturally likes a warm and bright growth environment. However, it should be noted that the "bright" here doesn't mean direct sunlight, because intense light will burn its leaves. If the environment is too dark during the care process, it will also lead to slow growth. Therefore, it is necessary to provide it with a growth space that is both bright and shaded, and also maintain a suitable temperature to make it feel the most suitable environment at home.
Finally, in the "Hunger Games" of the flower spike growth, details can determine success or failure. For Phalaenopsis, timely pruning and observation are indispensable. Pruning is not only for aesthetics but also can reduce the situation where withered and yellow leaves and withered flowers compete for normal nutrients. And regular observation can also help to discover the occurrence of pests and diseases during growth in time, ensuring that Phalaenopsis can grow healthily.
