The most suitable growth temperature for Phalaenopsis is 15-20℃. If you want it to grow vigorously, the temperature must be at least above 15℃. The plant has poor cold resistance. When the temperature is below 10℃, its growth will be inhibited.

Phalaenopsis growth humidity

Phalaenopsis requires air humidity between 60-80%, but the plant cannot be grown in a high temperature and high humidity environment, as this will easily lead to disease. When watering, pay attention to alternating between dry and wet, and directly pour water to the roots of the plant.
