Breeding method of Phalaenopsis
It is best to choose a larger pot for Phalaenopsis planting, with a diameter of about 30 cm and a strong drainage system at the bottom, otherwise it is easy to accumulate water. The soil should also be loose and breathable, and some humus soil and peat soil can be added to the soil when planting.
Before planting, you can also add some pebbles to the bottom, or you can spread a layer of moss on the soil surface to keep moisture. If you want to change the basin of Phalaenopsis, it is best to take the basin in late May, which is faster and less likely to get sick.
Phalaenopsis needs to be watered twice a week during the growing period to keep the soil moist. Sprinkle water around plants at ordinary times and pay attention to indoor ventilation. When the weather is warm, it is necessary to move Phalaenopsis to outdoor cultivation and get more sunshine. If the temperature is above 25 degrees, Phalaenopsis should be moved indoors.
Try not to water at night in spring, because the temperature will drop at night, so it is best to water at noon when eating. Too low temperature will affect the flowering of Phalaenopsis, even if buds grow, it is difficult to bloom.
Fertilizer is the most critical part of Phalaenopsis potted. For some Phalaenopsis which have just changed pots, the roots will be damaged when they are in a state of recovery. Fertilization cannot be applied at this time.
Spring or when Phalaenopsis grows new leaves after changing pots, this time is the best fertilization time. Fertilize once every two weeks to supplement the nutrients needed for flowering. When the weather is above 35 degrees, stop using chemical fertilizers, especially in summer. Continued fertilization will lead to root rot.
When all the buds of Phalaenopsis wither, we need to cut them off in time. Even if you don't cut it, you can fall off by yourself, but it will consume a lot of nutrition, so we'd better trim it.
If the roots of Phalaenopsis grow outside, it is necessary to change the pot of Phalaenopsis. At this time, you can cut them together with the parts above the roots, cut them in half and plant them in two pots. Take good care of them and they will soon sprout.
