Cultivation methods and precautions of Phoenix orchid

Cultivation methods and precautions of Phoenix orchid

1. Soil

The two main requirements of the Phoenix Orchid are rich nutrition and loose and breathable soil. Specifically, you can mix leaf mold and coarse sand. It is best to change the soil once a year, preferably in spring. You can also prune while changing the soil. Cut off old and rotten roots, and cut off dry, rotten, and yellowed leaves.

2. Watering

Phoenix orchid is relatively drought-tolerant, so you don’t need to water it too much. In summer, the demand for water is relatively high, so you can water it more at this time. It would be better to spray some water appropriately. In winter, the opposite is true and water needs to be controlled.

3. Lighting

Phoenix orchid prefers light and needs to be provided with sufficient light to meet its growth needs. The strong sunlight in the summer requires shade, and at other times, sufficient sunlight time is sufficient.

4. Fertilization

The overall demand for fertilizer by the Phoenix orchid is not much, and it is only needed in spring and autumn. However, even in these two stages, there is no need to apply too much fertilizer. Generally, applying compound fertilizer once each season is enough. Pay attention to the comprehensiveness of nutrients.

5. Temperature

Just keep it in a warm range, the Phoenix orchid is not very demanding on temperature. Areas with very cold winters require protection from the cold.

VI. Pest and disease control

Diseases include "leaf spot" and others, which can be treated with methyl thiophanate. Pests include "whiteflies" and others, and omethoate emulsifiable concentrate can be used to eliminate them.
