The simplest way to grow Phalaenopsis at home

1. Soil

When growing Phalaenopsis at home, you can choose breathable, humus-containing, slightly acidic soil.

2. Temperature

The suitable growth temperature for Phalaenopsis is 18-28℃. In summer, the plant should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to help it survive the midsummer. In winter, the indoor temperature is sometimes below 10℃, which is not conducive to growth, so move it to a warmer place for growth.

3. Moisture

In spring and summer, water once a day, spray water 2-3 times with a spray bottle. In autumn and winter, reduce the amount of watering, and watering can be controlled to once every 2-5 days. When watering, do not splash water on the leaves, otherwise it will cause leaf rot and other phenomena. When spraying water, you can aim the nozzle at the outside of the flower pot to increase the humidity of the surrounding air.

4. Lighting

Phalaenopsis is a plant that likes shade. Summer is its peak growth period. When the sunlight is too strong, it must be shaded to avoid the leaves getting burned. The shading material can be removed after October. Appropriate light can be provided in autumn, and the temperature difference between morning and evening can promote flowering.

5. Fertilization

You can choose potassium dihydrogen phosphate or special fertilizer for Phalaenopsis, and the fertilizer concentration is about 0.1%-0.2%. Stop fertilizing during the winter flowering period.
