How Phalaenopsis survives the summer

The most important thing for Phalaenopsis to survive the summer is cooling down, because too high temperature will have an adverse effect on its growth. There are three main measures that can be taken to cool down Phalaenopsis in summer.

Cover with shade net

When covering Phalaenopsis with shade nets in summer, you can add a double layer, which can reduce the strong sunlight and achieve the purpose of cooling. The cooling effect of using shade nets is still very good, and it can also block the strong sunlight in summer.

Water spray

Watering mainly involves spraying water on the ground and around the Phalaenopsis plants. When sprinkling water on the ground or plants, you can use water with a lower temperature, which can have a significant cooling effect. In summer, the temperature is high and the sunlight is strong, the weather will be relatively dry, and the evaporation will be large, so spraying water will not only have a cooling effect, but also increase the air humidity. If you want to cool down quickly, you can spray water on the leaves.

Improve ventilation

Ventilation is also a commonly used measure to cool down in summer. Strengthening ventilation in summer can not only promote air circulation and cool down, but also reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests.
