How to grow Phalaenopsis

1. Temperature

When maintaining it, you should create a suitable environment for it. The low temperature should be above 15 degrees. If it is around 10 degrees, the flower color will obviously become darker. If it is below 5 degrees, it may be frostbitten or even die. If it exceeds 35 degrees, it will stop growing.

2. Light

The requirement is bright diffuse light. It is not recommended to place it under direct light or in a too dark environment. Its growth environment requires proper ventilation. If the ventilation is poor, some diseases and pests will occur, and even cause its death.

3. Watering

The soil in the pot should be kept moist but not waterlogged. It has very high requirements for humidity because it is an epiphytic orchid and its roots can obtain moisture from the air. It is recommended to use purified water or boiled water for watering, especially in the northern regions. It is not recommended to use tap water directly for watering because it is very sensitive to salt content.

4. Fertilizer

Phalaenopsis does not have particularly high requirements for fertilizer, but it must have sufficient nutrients to facilitate its flowering. You cannot use ordinary common flower fertilizers, you can usually buy special fertilizers on the market.
