How to grow Phalaenopsis seedlings and precautions How to grow more Phalaenopsis seedlings

Phalaenopsis likes a cool environment, is afraid of drought, cold, dryness, lack of ventilation, wind and rain, so it is a good choice to grow it indoors, but it must be kept ventilated at all times.

How to cultivate Phalaenopsis seedlings

1. Growth environment

Phalaenopsis likes a high temperature and high humidity environment. The temperature should be maintained above 15 degrees during the growth period. When the temperature is high in summer, it needs to be cooled down. Because Phalaenopsis will enter a dormant period when the temperature is higher than 32 degrees, it is necessary to spray water in time to cool it down, and ensure that the environment is ventilated to avoid infection by pests and diseases.

2. Water and fertilizer management

Phalaenopsis is suitable for maintenance in an environment with high humidity. Water the seedlings more frequently during the rooting period, water them once a day in spring and autumn, twice a day in summer, and once a week in winter.

Moreover, Phalaenopsis needs to be fertilized throughout the year. Diluted liquid fertilizer should be applied every 7 to 10 days in spring and summer, nitrogen and potassium fertilizers should be applied in summer, and phosphorus fertilizers should be applied every 2 to 3 weeks in autumn.

3. Post-flowering management

The flowering period of Phalaenopsis is generally around the Spring Festival, which lasts for 2 to 3 months. After the flowers wither, the remaining flowers need to be cut off to reduce nutrient consumption. If the flower stems are cut off from the 4th to 5th nodes at the base, they can bloom again after 2 to 3 months, but this consumes a lot of nutrients and is not conducive to the growth of the plant.

How to grow more Phalaenopsis seedlings

1. Shade

If placed under the sun, its leaves will turn yellow and dry at the edges. Generally speaking, Phalaenopsis must be shaded in summer. How to shade it?

The Phalaenopsis is now placed under the flower stand, with scattered light sparsely visible, and there is a sunshade net on the top of the greenhouse. It is over 40 degrees in the greenhouse, and it is still blooming. So we must do a good job of shading, which can ensure that its leaves are not sunburned and the leaves are always green.

2. Ventilation

It is hot and muggy in summer. If you don't ventilate the plant and water it without ventilation, the soil in the pot will become silted up and the roots will rot. Phalaenopsis needs to be watered in summer. Generally, water it thoroughly as soon as the soil surface is dry, but remember to ensure ventilation.

After good ventilation, the moisture in the potting soil can evaporate quickly, and there will be a process of drying and wetting. This will ensure that its roots will not rot or accumulate. Only with good ventilation can we carry out the next step.

3. Moisturizing

Phalaenopsis likes high air humidity, which everyone should know. We need to spray water regularly to keep it moist, but in the hot and humid summer, we must do so under the premise of ventilation. We can put it in a place where the ground is completely wet.

Then find something to lift it up and squat on it, so that the air humidity will naturally increase. We can also find a large tray and put something high like a brick in the tray.

Put the flower pot on it. The large tray has a high temperature and the evaporation of water can also increase the humidity of the air. Of course, if your indoor ventilation is very good, you can spray it regularly in the morning, noon and evening.

Spraying can also increase the humidity of the air and maintain good humidity. The leaves will grow fast and be shiny instead of dull and lifeless, and the growth will be good.

Phalaenopsis seedling cultivation matters needing attention

When caring for Phalaenopsis, do not water too much, otherwise it will easily cause root rot. Control the temperature when caring for it at night to avoid low temperatures that will cause the plant to grow weakly and not bloom. Dilute the fertilizer when fertilizing. When the climate is dry, increase the air humidity and lower the temperature.
