How often does Phalaenopsis water?

Phalaenopsis is usually watered every five days in spring and autumn. When the weather is hot in summer, the watering frequency should be increased, once every 2-3 days and once every 7- 10 days in winter.

Watering Phalaenopsis will directly affect its life and death. Take out the water first, and then supply the water when the water temperature is almost the same. Be sure to aim at the root position when watering, and don't touch the leaves, otherwise the leaves will rot and the buds will wither.

The amount of watering each time needs to be controlled, and it must be watered thoroughly to ensure that the substrate can fully absorb water until the water can flow out from the bottom of the flowerpot. The amount of water sprayed is also required, so that the water seems to drip but does not drip.

Matters needing attention in Phalaenopsis cultivation

Because the application of organic fertilizer will produce odor and affect indoor hygiene, chemical fertilizer is generally the main method. Commonly used fertilizers include potassium dihydrogen phosphate, diammonium phosphate and special fertilizer for orchids, with the application concentration of 0. 1% ~ 0.2%, and topdressing 1 time in peak season for 5 ~ 7 days; Top dressing 1 time for 20 ~ 30 days in slow growth season; When the temperature drops below 15℃ in winter, stop fertilization.

In the process of cultivation, the types and proportions of fertilization are different at different growth stages. The ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in the vegetative growth stage of the first and second seedlings is1:1:1; The ratio of big seedlings to flowering plants is 1: 1.5: 4.

Summer is the vigorous growth period of Phalaenopsis, so it is necessary to shade the leaves to prevent them from being burned. Generally shading 50% ~ 60%; The sunshine in autumn is also strong, so it needs shading for 50% to September, and the shading material can only be removed after 10.
