How to Cultivate Phalaenopsis Orchids
Let me share some small experiences on how to cultivate Phalaenopsis orchids and the techniques for maintaining them. I will guide you through the process.
Phalaenopsis orchids require a special environment to grow; in the wild, they need to attach to trees or moist rocks. When cultivating them in pots, it's important to choose the right growing medium, place the pot in a place with diffused light, master the watering technique, and fertilize the plant at the right time to promote better growth. Below, I will explain the cultivation methods for Phalaenopsis orchids.
1. Soil
Phalaenopsis orchids thrive in loose, fertile, well-draining, and slightly acidic soil. You can use decomposed leaf soil and garden soil, mixed with some pine needles and peanut shells to create a suitable growing medium.
2. Light
Although Phalaenopsis orchids prefer shade, they also need to be placed in a sunny location for care. You can place them in a semi-shaded area of the courtyard, or near a阳台 or window indoors. Avoid direct sunlight and grow them in a place with diffused light.
3. Watering
When watering Phalaenopsis orchids, you can use tap water or rainwater. Do not water excessively, as excess water can cause root rot or plant death. Water thoroughly, and you can also mist the leaves daily to increase humidity.
4. Fertilizing
Fertilizing Phalaenopsis orchids should focus on using decomposed organic fertilizers. During the growing season, fertilize every 15-20 days, following the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently. Stop fertilizing during the blooming period.
