Phalaenopsis pruning effect

If you want the Phalaenopsis to grow new buds quickly after its first bloom, then after the first flowering period is over, you must trim the withered flowers in time to avoid wasting excess nutrients, but don't trim too many at a time.

We need to prune according to the growth of the entire Phalaenopsis orchid. We should prune away the withered flowers and the branches, but be careful not to prune away the new branches still growing on the branches. We want to keep it blooming, probably cutting back about four or five nodes, leaving some branches to continue growing and blooming.

Phalaenopsis pruning time

Generally, Phalaenopsis is pruned in spring, mainly in April after the flowers have faded, and the flower arrows can be pruned. Phalaenopsis blooms one or two times a year and needs to be pruned after each flowering period, so it can be pruned twice a year.

Phalaenopsis cutting propagation

After the Phalaenopsis flower has faded, it can be propagated by pruning. All thin, dry and potential fruit-bearing branches should be cut off. The flowering branches can be cut from the place where they begin to bloom or where they begin to branch.

Phalaenopsis pruning method

Phalaenopsis is mainly pruned after the flowers have faded, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients. At this time, the withered flowers can be cut off and the branches can be pruned. When pruning, if the roots and leaves of the plant are very strong, you can retain more flower stems. When pruning the flower stems, just cut them from the 4th or 5th nodes at the base.
