Phalaenopsis Flowering Period Maintenance

temperature

During the flowering period of Phalaenopsis, you must pay attention to the temperature range, which should not be too high or too low. At night, the temperature is generally between 15 and 18 degrees, and the temperature for the table should be between 23 and 25 degrees. If it is too low, the growth of the plant's flower buds will be affected, development will be hindered, or frostbite will occur. If the temperature is too high, the flowers will wither prematurely.

Moisture

During the flowering period, Phalaenopsis requires much less water than usual, because moderately dry soil is conducive to more beautiful flowers. Generally, just test the soil with your hand and feel if it feels warm. If it is too dry, the leaves will wilt and lose their luster, becoming unsightly. If the humidity is too high, the leaves will become wrinkled in about a week, and the growth of the flower buds will be affected, causing the flowers to be too small and dull in color.

illumination

As for light, stronger sunlight is needed in the period before flowering, which can make the flowers stretch more elegantly and naturally, and the color will be more vivid. At this time, we just need to take away the shade. You need to pay attention to the indoor ventilation, increase the flow of fresh air and provide sufficient carbon dioxide.

Fertilization

In the later stage of Phalaenopsis' growth, you don't need to apply fertilizer too much, otherwise it will cause root rot of the plant. We can use a small amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to improve the quality of flowers.
