With the onset of winter, more and more flower lovers are starting to buy Phalaenopsis orchids. When this plant blooms, each flower looks like a butterfly spreading its wings to fly, and dozens of such flowers can bloom on one flower stem. A single bloom of the Phalaenopsis orchid can last for months, making it a favorite flower choice for many people. So how do you repot a Phalaenopsis? 1. Choose the right time It is best to repot Phalaenopsis in spring or autumn, as the climate in these two seasons is mild and suitable for plant growth. 2. Prepare tools and materials New soil and a clean new pot are needed, as well as tools such as scissors and shovels. 3. Remove the plant Gently remove the Phalaenopsis from its old pot, being careful not to damage the roots. Gently pat the roots to remove any old soil. 4. Prune the roots Check the root system, cut off diseased and rotten parts, and retain healthy roots. 5. Put it in a new pot Put some new soil in the new pot, place the Phalaenopsis on top, then fill it with new soil and pat it down gently. 6. Watering Moisten the new soil with an appropriate amount of water, but be careful not to overwater to avoid causing root rot. 7. Pay attention to ventilation After repotting, place the Phalaenopsis in a well-ventilated place to avoid the growth of bacteria. 8. Notes Newly repotted Phalaenopsis orchids need to adapt to the new environment and should be protected from direct sunlight and rain. After repotting, Phalaenopsis needs proper nutritional supplementation and fertilizer can be applied regularly. Keep the soil moist but not too wet to avoid excess water that can cause root problems. Phalaenopsis prefers a warm environment. The most suitable growth temperature is 20-30 degrees Celsius. Avoid temperatures that are too high or too low. After repotting, water appropriately to keep the soil moist. After repotting the seedlings, you can directly water them thoroughly. After repotting the mature plants, it is recommended to wait for a few days for the wounds to heal before watering. In short, after repotting, you should closely observe the growth of the plant and adjust maintenance measures in time. Check Phalaenopsis orchids regularly for pest infestations and take appropriate preventive measures. Frequent repotting will affect the growth of Phalaenopsis. It is recommended to repot once every year or every two years.
