Key points for watering Phalaenopsis in summer

1. Watering frequency

In summer, Phalaenopsis can be watered whenever the soil is dry or wet. There is no fixed frequency. You can water Phalaenopsis once in the morning and evening.

2. Watering amount

Phalaenopsis is more afraid of waterlogging. Generally, during the maintenance period, it is enough to water the soil thoroughly without worrying about how much water is used.

3. Maintenance

It is best to ventilate the Phalaenopsis in time after watering it in the summer, because the climate is hot and dry in summer. If ventilation is not done in time, the water in the potting soil will heat up and the roots will become suffocated.

The correct way to water Phalaenopsis

1. The roots of Phalaenopsis are very active in spring, so you can water the plant when it is relatively dry.

2. In summer, water will evaporate faster. In addition to normal watering, you need to sprinkle some water on the leaves of Phalaenopsis, so that you can directly replenish water to the leaves.

3. The climate will be relatively dry in autumn. You should control the amount of water you use each time you water the Phalaenopsis, and the watering intervals should be longer.

4. Phalaenopsis does not require much water in winter, so there is no rush to water it. Just water it after the soil in the pot is dry.
