Phalaenopsis can be regarded as one of the must - buy flowers every Spring Festival. There are two ways to cultivate Phalaenopsis, namely soil cultivation and hydroponics. In recent years, hydroponic Phalaenopsis has also begun to be favored by the public. However, in the process of hydroponic care, many flower - lovers are faced with the problem of difficult care. For example, many people will find that their hydroponic Phalaenopsis are prone to a series of problems such as root rot and yellowing of leaves. So, when we encounter such a situation, how should we deal with it? Let's take a look together in the following text.
The most hidden killer of hydroponic Phalaenopsis is over - watering. Many people are always worried that it will lack water, so they will unconsciously add water to it. But in fact, this practice will only put the Phalaenopsis in a difficult situation, because over - watering will cause the roots to suffocate and then rot. It's just like human beings. If hands and feet are soaked in water for a long time, the skin will also feel wrinkled and uncomfortable.
So, how can we avoid the problem of root rot? The answer is "dryness". Specifically, every time you change the clean water, you can first expose its roots to the air for most of the day. The advantage of this is that the roots can be fully ventilated and dried. Besides avoiding root rot, it can also stimulate the growth of Phalaenopsis and make it stronger.
What details should we pay attention to in the specific operation? First of all, after pouring out the clean water, during the "dryness" period, make sure that the roots of Phalaenopsis are not exposed to strong sunlight to avoid sun - burning the roots during the dryness period. In addition, when adding water again, pay attention to the cleanness and temperature of the water. It is recommended to use filtered water if possible. If tap water is used, the water can be left standing for a period of time before adding, and avoid using water sources containing too many chemical substances.
All in all, after a period of care, you will find that the dry - care method is the most effective way for hydroponic Phalaenopsis. Many flower - lovers are full of praise for this method and have said that their hydroponic Phalaenopsis have become stronger and the leaves are more emerald - green.
