How to water Phalaenopsis during flowering period

1. How to water

It is usually in a semi-dormant or even dormant state when it blooms, and requires less water during this period, so be sure to control the water and keep the soil slightly moist. If it is too humid, the roots will rot easily and the flowering time will be shortened. If it is too dry, do not add a lot of water. Use a spray bottle to spray water in an appropriate amount and spray the surrounding ground to increase the humidity. High humidity is more conducive to growth and can also prolong the flowering period.

2. How to maintain

1. Stop fertilizing: It likes fertilizer, so you need to apply fertilizer before and after flowering, but stop fertilizing during flowering. The roots cannot absorb the fertilizer at this time, but will burn the roots, affecting flowering and growth.

2. Control the temperature: Phalaenopsis prefers a cool environment to grow. When it blooms, it is best to give it an environment between 15 and 18 degrees. Suitable temperature can prolong the flowering period, and it can bloom for up to four months.

3. Set up supports: During maintenance, if the flower stems are pulled out, set up supports in the potting soil in time to avoid lodging and affect flowering. In addition, when the flower buds grow up, do not move them to the flower pot at will, otherwise they will easily fall off.
