How to grow Phalaenopsis at home

1. Breeding conditions

1. Soil: When growing Phalaenopsis at home, try to use slightly acidic soil with good air permeability and high nutrient content. Specifically, you can mix pine needles, bark strips, peanut shells, and clay balls.

2. Temperature: During the growth period, it needs to be given a temperature condition of 16-30℃; in summer, the temperature needs to be kept below 32℃; in winter, the temperature needs to be kept between 13-16℃.

3. Water: It likes moisture, so it needs to be watered in time. The soil must not be allowed to dry out, and some water mist needs to be sprayed on its leaves from time to time to maintain the air humidity.

4. Light: It likes semi-shady growing conditions, so you can put it in a place with scattered light. In summer, shade is needed.

2. Breeding Methods

The most commonly used method for home propagation of Phalaenopsis is the pedicel germination method. Specifically, it means removing the withered flowers from the branches after flowering, and then disinfecting the branches. Then remove the bracts and apply germination drugs on its buds. Then place the plant in a dark environment at 25-28℃. After about 90 days, the small buds will grow roots, and then you can cut it off and transplant it into a new pot.
