Believe that everyone who has cared for phalaenopsis will sincerely sigh that "it is really difficult to raise." Recently, a flower lover commented and asked, "Why did my phalaenopsis look very beautiful when I bought it home in full bloom, but it withered after only a month of raising? In the following text, let's solve this confusion together with the questions of this flower lover.
If a flower lover's phalaenopsis withers in less than a month, in the final analysis, it is due to negligence in daily care, either overwatering, exposing it to the sun, or excessive fertilization and other common situations. Although phalaenopsis is a relatively difficult flower to raise, as long as everyone masters the skills reasonably, it can still be raised beautifully with flowers. At the same time, the flowering period of phalaenopsis can also be extended.
What should we do? First of all, the lighting should be reasonable. Phalaenopsis is most afraid of excessive sunlight, and at the same time it is also afraid of dark and unventilated places. Therefore, the most suitable environment is a "semi-shady and semi-sunny" position. During the maintenance process, place it in a place where the light does not shine directly, and ensure that there is at least 4-6 hours of gentle sunlight every day.
Secondly, place the phalaenopsis in a space with a temperature ranging from 18 to 28 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is lower than 10 degrees Celsius or higher than 30 degrees Celsius, it will affect its growth and flowering. In particular, it should be noted that in winter, to avoid frostbite on the leaves. When placed in a room without heating, it is recommended to cover it with a black bag to prevent cold. In summer, especially during the dog days, choose a shaded and humidified place to prevent high temperature burns.
Then, the key to maintaining phalaenopsis well is also moisture control. Although it likes a humid environment, it is afraid that excessive moisture will cause saturation of water vapor in the roots. Therefore, when watering daily, it is best to adjust appropriately according to the season and weather conditions. It is best to touch the potting soil with your hand and it is moist but not too wet. At the same time, also pay attention to avoiding sprinkling water on the flower buds and flowers when watering to prevent the flowers from withering prematurely.
Finally, during the growth period of phalaenopsis, give it reasonable fertilizer. It is recommended to apply a thin liquid fertilizer to it every half a month. Doing so can promote the differentiation of flower buds and the blooming of flowers.
