Do you want to breed a beautiful Phalaenopsis orchid?Let's work together on the cultivation methods and precautions of Phalaenopsis orchid!
First, the breeding environment.
1.Light: Phalaenopsis needs sufficient scattered light to avoid direct glare light. Get at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, or place in a brightly lit room.
2.Temperature: The optimal temperature for phalaenopsis growth is 18-28. In the summer high temperature, it is necessary to pay attention to ventilation and heat dissipation to avoid a stuffy and humid environment. In the winter when the temperature is low, the number of watering can be increased appropriately to keep the soil moist.
3.Humidity: Phalaenopsis requires high air humidity, keeping the air humidity between 60%-80%. The air humidity can be increased by spraying water, sprinkling water, etc.
Second, the breeding method.
1.Soil: Choose loose, breathable, well-drained acidic soil, and choose to mix with moss, coconut pea, perlite and other materials.
2.Watering: Phalaenopsis should be watered in moderation to avoid overwatering and causing root rot. Generally, the dryness of the soil can be observed, and it is enough to water properly and keep the soil moist.
3.Fertilization: Phalaenopsis needs proper nutrient supplementation, and orchid fertilizer or organic fertilizer can be selected. In the peak growing season, fertilize every 10-15 days, pay attention to control the fertilizer concentration, and avoid burning roots.
4.Pruning: During the growth of phalaenopsis, it is necessary to prune dead leaves and weak branches in time to keep the plant beautiful and healthy.
3. Precautions.
1.Avoid overwatering: Phalaenopsis is not tolerant to waterlogging, and overwatering can easily lead to root rot and affect plant growth.
2.Pay attention to the fertilization concentration: too high the fertilization concentration will lead to root burning and affect the growth of phalaenopsis.
3.Avoid direct sunlight: Phalaenopsis orchids like to scatter light, and direct sunlight can cause damage to them.
4.Maintain air circulation: Be sure to pay attention to ventilation during the hot season to maintain air circulation.
