Phalaenopsis sowing time

Phalaenopsis belongs to the genus Phalaenopsis of the orchid family and can be planted once a year. The best time to sow Phalaenopsis is in April. The most suitable temperature for the growth of Phalaenopsis is between 15 and 30 degrees. The temperature in April is generally around 20 degrees, so this period is the most suitable for sowing.

Phalaenopsis sowing method

1. Pruning

When sowing Phalaenopsis, it is necessary to promptly trim off the remaining flowers and branches that may bear fruit, as these will consume a large amount of nutrients and affect the Phalaenopsis plant's re-flowering and normal growth and development.

2. Cultivation

   When sowing Phalaenopsis, after the flowers of the plant have faded, you need to cut the flower stem from the fourth to fifth node at the root, and then place it in a warm and ventilated environment, which can encourage it to bloom.

Key points and techniques for growing Phalaenopsis

1. Water properly

   When planting Phalaenopsis, you need to pay attention to watering it properly. It is best to water it in small amounts, because the buds of Phalaenopsis cannot absorb nutrients well before they grow out. If you water it too much, the survival rate of the seedlings will be reduced, and the roots may rot and die.

2. Fertilization treatment

   When planting Phalaenopsis, the demand for fertilizer is very high, and the amount of fertilizer applied needs to be appropriately increased. After fertilizing several times, it needs to be rinsed with water to prevent inorganic salts from causing damage to the roots.
