1. How to breed Phalaenopsis

1. Temperature: When raising Phalaenopsis at home, you must first ensure the temperature. Phalaenopsis likes high temperature and high humidity environment. The minimum temperature during the growth period should be kept above 15℃. The suitable growth temperature for Phalaenopsis is 16℃ to 30℃. At the turn of autumn and winter and when the temperature is low in winter, attention should be paid to increasing the temperature.

2. Humidity: air humidity: higher air humidity is better, but in home cultivation, air humidity is difficult to adjust. Flowers can be allowed to adapt slowly. At first, foliar spraying can be done every day, and the amount should not be too large. , just soak the leaves. Gradually reduce the number of sprays in the future, stop spraying from September to October, and no longer spray treatments in the future.

3. Light: Appropriate light can promote Phalaenopsis to bloom, making the flowers bloom bright and lasting. Generally, it should be placed indoors in a place with scattered light and away from direct sunlight. After the Phalaenopsis flowering period, you can leave 3-5 cm of the flower stem and cut off the rest. From May 1st to May 1st, it can be placed on the south balcony where direct sunlight is not available. From November 1st to May 1st, it can be placed near the south window sill to receive sufficient sunlight.

4. Ventilation: The normal growth of Phalaenopsis requires flowing fresh air. Therefore, domestic Phalaenopsis must have good ventilation, especially during the high humidity period in summer. Good ventilation must be used to prevent heatstroke and at the same time Can avoid the infection of pests and diseases.

5. Watering: Use tap water or rainwater to water the flowers. Water them thoroughly. You can often put your fingers into the plant material in the pot through the bottom hole of the flower pot. If it is relatively wet, there is no need to water. If the bottom planting material is slightly damp, water it thoroughly.

2. Precautions for breeding Phalaenopsis

1. The natural flowering period of Phalaenopsis is from March to May, and the viewing period generally lasts for more than 2 months.

Many florists think that it is difficult to cultivate Phalaenopsis at home. In fact, if you pay attention to maintenance, it can bloom; temperature is one of the key factors in maintaining Phalaenopsis.

The suitable growth temperature for Phalaenopsis is 18-28℃, but in summer, the indoor temperature is often above 30℃. During maintenance, Phalaenopsis can be placed in a ventilated and semi-shady place to help it survive. Hot summer.

Phalaenopsis requires low temperature to promote flower bud differentiation. Generally, the purpose of flowering can be achieved below 20℃. However, in winter, the indoor temperature is sometimes lower than 10℃, which is not conducive to the growth of Phalaenopsis. Phalaenopsis can be placed in Place it on a sunny window sill or near a heating device to increase the temperature.

2. Phalaenopsis likes moisture. During the growth period, the substrate should be kept moist. Slightly dry is conducive to root growth. Long-term excessive moisture will cause root rot.

Indoor relative air humidity should reach above 60%. If the weather is dry, you need to spray water on the plants to moisturize them to form a microclimate that is conducive to the growth of Phalaenopsis. If possible, you can use a humidifier to increase the air humidity. The seedling stage does not require high light, so it can be maintained in a semi-shady environment. It likes sufficient scattered light, with full sunlight visible in the morning and evening in spring, summer, and autumn, shade at noon, and visible light throughout the day in winter.

If the light is too strong, it will burn the leaves. If the light is too weak, the leaves will become elongated, affecting the ornamental value, and the flowering will be poor. After the Phalaenopsis orchid blooms, the flower stems should be cut off in time and the pot should be changed.

After taking off the pot, take off the original substrate, cut off the rotten and dead roots, and replace it with a new substrate to continue maintenance.
