How to make Phalaenopsis grow arrows

Let Phalaenopsis grow an arrow, and flower bud differentiation needs low temperature stimulation. When the day and night temperature is lower than 18℃ (but not lower than 15℃ for a long time), the latent buds in the stem can be transformed into flower buds after one month's stimulation.

When flower buds break through the epidermis and grow into pedicels, higher temperature is needed, and normal growth temperature is appropriate. Continued low temperature will lead to slow germination of pedicels, too small flowers or even wither halfway.

If the flower arrow growing from Phalaenopsis can keep upright and not fall sideways, it can be fixed. If its flower arrow leans to one side, it can be tied with a slightly harder iron wire to prevent it from leaning.

Extended data:

The aerial roots of Phalaenopsis adhere to rocks or tree trunks and absorb water and nutrients from the air. Therefore, the planting materials should be loose and breathable.

It is best not to choose pure topsoil or garden soil as potted materials, but to choose materials such as water moss, bark, fern root, broken bricks and coconut shells. Fiber, ceramsite and other substrates are suitable. Or directly fix the seedlings on charcoal and let them climb and grow by themselves, and the PH value is about 6.5.

Planting Phalaenopsis should use bamboo woven utensils, porous ceramic pots or special orchid flowerpots, and it is best not to use ordinary plastic pots. Seedlings should not be placed on the ground, but hung or placed on a shelf to facilitate the elongation and growth of air roots.
