【One, How long is the flowering period of Phalaenopsis orchids】
The flowering period of Phalaenopsis orchids usually lasts two to three months. However, if people start caring for them from the seedling stage, it will take at least two years for the Phalaenopsis orchids to bloom. Because the flowering period of Phalaenopsis orchids is from April to June, and there is also a possibility of extension. As long as orchid enthusiasts take good care of them, they can make the Phalaenopsis orchids bloom for a longer time.
If the Phalaenopsis orchid wilts, cutting the flower stem from the base at the 4-5th node, the Phalaenopsis orchid can bloom again after two months. This shows that Phalaenopsis orchids bloom multiple times and the flowering period is relatively long, making them very suitable for home cultivation.
【Two, Flowering period care techniques for Phalaenopsis orchids】
<1. Suitable temperature>
The growth of Phalaenopsis orchids requires high temperatures, especially during the flowering period. The temperature for the flowering period of Phalaenopsis orchids should be around 23°C to 25°C during the day and 15°C to 18°C at night. This temperature difference can help nurture flower buds. If the temperature is too high, the flowers will fade提前; if the temperature is too low, the flower buds will freeze and affect their development. In addition, in dry autumn, you can spray water on the flowers to maintain humidity.
<2. Reasonable watering>
When Phalaenopsis orchids bloom, the amount of water they need is much less than usual, as moderate soil dryness is conducive to more beautiful blooming. Generally, the soil moisture should feel slightly warm when touched by hand. If it's too dry, the leaves will become wilted, lose their luster, and become unattractive.
<3. Light requirements>
The light intensity required for the flowering period of Phalaenopsis orchids is very different from that in the early stage. In the early stage, they need shade and shelter, but during this period, the shading material should be removed. Strong light intensity helps the flowers open up, makes the flower arrow internodes uniform, and the flowers more colorful. There is no need to increase the light intensity at this time, nor is there a need to follow a fixed precise light intensity data.
<4. Sufficient nutrients>
A single flower stem of a Phalaenopsis orchid can produce many flowers, so it consumes a lot of nutrients. After the Phalaenopsis orchid blooms, it is necessary to supplement fertilizer to provide the plant with enough nutrients for flowering, making the Phalaenopsis orchid bloom more and the flowers more colorful. Therefore, appropriate fertilization should be carried out during the maintenance process.
