Many people are fond of the first breeze in the early morning. It makes people feel physically and mentally 愉悦，and also enables them to perceive the beginning of a new day. However, curiously, do plants like this gentle breeze as well? Especially for the delicate phalaenopsis, does the gentle wind or the wild wind have a great impact on it? Let's explore it in depth together below.
In fact, the feelings of humans and plants are somewhat similar. First of all, it should be made clear that a light breeze is a natural gift for phalaenopsis. It can not only help the plants ventilate and exchange air, but also reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases. Meanwhile, it can play a role in promoting the growth of leaves. The gentle breeze is just like giving the phalaenopsis a gentle massage, making it more energetic.
However, when the wind becomes stronger and turns into a violent storm, the situation may cause the branches of the phalaenopsis to be blown off, and may also lead to the deformation and damage of its flowers, and even affect the shape of the whole plant. It is recommended that we should take some measures to protect it at this time, such as moving the phalaenopsis indoors or to places with sunshades or windbreaks to reduce the direct impact of the wind. In addition, when the wind blows for a long time, the soil will be relatively prone to water shortage. At this time, the watering method of "watering when the soil is slightly dry" can be adopted. That is, water it when you touch the pot soil and find it is a little dry, and water it thoroughly at one time. Doing so can make the water fully penetrate to the roots, and also allow the orchids to feel the circulation of the gentle wind.
Finally, it is worth noting that different varieties of phalaenopsis also have different tolerances to the wind. Some varieties are relatively petite and delicate, and these need more care. Some are relatively tougher and the whole plants are a bit larger, and these can adapt to the changeable environment relatively well.
All in all, when the wind comes, it doesn't mean that all phalaenopsis are so afraid of it. The key is to see whether the nature of the wind is strong or gentle. Meanwhile, a relatively scientific maintenance plan should be formulated according to factors such as the variety of the orchids and the maintenance environment.
