Friends who like to cultivate Phalaenopsis surely know that it is a very finicky flower. Because its roots are extremely slender, compared with other flowers, its roots are quite sensitive. If over-watered, the roots can easily rot. If under-watered, it will lose its vitality. Therefore, how to drain the excess water after watering has become a difficult problem for every flower lover. Let's take a look at how to make the pot soil of Phalaenopsis dry quickly below.

To cultivate Phalaenopsis well, watering is a technique. We should follow the principle of "better dry than wet". Before each watering, check the dryness and wetness inside the pot soil carefully. Only in this way can we ensure that the surface of the pot soil is slightly dry before watering. Water should be poured slowly and evenly. Never pour water on its leaves and flowers, and also avoid directly flushing the roots with water flow to prevent damage. Such slow watering can make the water permeate every part of the roots.

Besides watering, ventilation is also crucial. Place Phalaenopsis in a well-ventilated position, such as by the window or in an outdoor area without direct sunlight. This can accelerate the evaporation of the excess water in the pot and effectively avoid the threat of pests and diseases.

In addition to proper watering and ventilation, the combination of soil in the pot is also very important. Choose a medium mixed with perlite, coconut coir, sphagnum moss, vermiculite, etc. These pot soils can improve the drainage performance inside the pot and reduce the retention of water in the soil.

Moreover, during the cultivation process, continuous observation and adjustment are needed as it is not a fixed situation. Pay attention to the growth condition of Phalaenopsis. If there are situations like yellowing and rotting of the leaves, pay attention to the water issue. At this time, control the water amount and improve the ventilation environment to ensure the healthy growth of Phalaenopsis.

In conclusion, ventilation is an important step in cultivating Phalaenopsis. It not only accelerates the drying process of the pot soil but also provides a healthier and more comfortable growth environment for Phalaenopsis. Therefore, in the future journey of flower cultivation, we must pay attention to the importance of ventilation and use it flexibly. Only in this way can we make Phalaenopsis bloom the most charming flowers.
