Affected by low temperatures in the cold winter, most plant species will enter a semi-dormant state, unless you have a heating temperature at home, which can be maintained above 20 degrees, there is no heating in the entire southern region of our country, and the only heating measure is air conditioning, so the temperature on the balcony is almost difficult to reach more than 20 degrees, in such an environment, phalaenopsis will be dormant.
Breeding phalaenopsis must have an understanding of its growth habits, all phalaenopsis species when the temperature is below 15 degrees, it will enter a slow dormant stage, the dormant period of phalaenopsis root ability to absorb water is relatively insignificant, the root system for water demand less, at this time, we need to do proper water control.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, in four seasons a year, in the two seasons of summer and winter, the root system of phalaenopsis must be kept dry, and the root system must be kept slightly dry throughout the maintenance cycle, and there is no need to water too much water.
According to the normal logic of raising flowers, Phalaenopsis is affected by low temperature in winter, and the root system is easy to rot, but most people still continue to water in the cold winter, and the overly humid water moss makes the roots of Phalaenopsis soak in a humid environment, and the roots are easy to rot over time.
Plants enter a semi-dormant state, which indicates that the need for water and nutrients will be minimized, and the efficiency of the root system will be reduced.
Phalaenopsis is a relatively easy plant to maintain in the flower world, super vitality, even if it is not watered for a long time, it is not dry, the roots of phalaenopsis are relatively thick, the nutrients and water stored in the thick root system, even if you do not water for a long time, you don't have to worry about it at all, and the phalaenopsis in the dormant period is to control the frequency of watering.
According to the temperature of the maintenance environment, constantly improve the frequency and amount of watering, only in this way can its roots be raised more stout, the root system grows thicker, and the probability of flowering increases, if the watering is not well controlled, in the low temperature environment, high frequency of watering, the probability of rotten roots is greatly increased.
If you like to raise a phalaenopsis orchid, you must remember that the root system of phalaenopsis orchid, even if it is exposed to the air, it can absorb the moisture in the air, so there is no need to worry about it, because the problem of death due to long-term lack of water will lead to death, it is better to water less than to water more.
