2. Phalaenopsis maintenance and management

1. Temperature: Phalaenopsis likes a warm environment, and the temperature suitable for its growth is between 15 and 20 degrees. It has high requirements for temperature, and is not resistant to high temperatures or low temperatures, so good temperature control is required in summer and winter. In summer, it needs to be moved to a cool and well-ventilated place, and water should be sprayed around frequently to cool it down. In winter, it should be moved indoors, and it is best to keep the temperature stable at above 10 degrees so that it can survive the winter safely.

2. Light: Phalaenopsis is very light-loving. It can only grow vigorously and bloom better in an environment with sufficient light, but it also has a certain degree of shade tolerance. During the growing season, it is best to place it in a well-lit place with plenty of sunlight. The sunlight in summer is too strong, so block it out in time and avoid excessive exposure to the sun.

3. Watering: It likes a humid environment, but is not tolerant to waterlogging. If you find the soil is dry, water it in time and spray it frequently. The amount of water for watering should be controlled, just keep the soil moist but avoid water accumulation. After winter, water evaporates slowly and water needs to be strictly controlled.

4. Fertilization: It consumes a lot of nutrients during the peak growth season. It is recommended to apply thin fertilizer frequently to supplement it with nutrients. If it is well fed, it will naturally grow vigorously. It is best to choose fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium, which are beneficial for flowering.
