How to water Phalaenopsis in winter and how to keep warm

1. How to water

Phalaenopsis prefers a relatively humid environment, but the temperature is lower in winter, so its growth rate is relatively slow. It requires less water and the water evaporates slowly, so watering should be reduced. Before watering each time, check the dryness of the soil in the pot. Water only when you see it is dry. Do not water it thoroughly, just keep the surface soil moist. Generally water it once a week. In addition, pay attention to the time of watering, which should be done at noon.

2. How to keep warm

1. Move indoors: It has poor cold resistance and must be kept warm in winter. The temperature should be controlled above 10 degrees, otherwise it is easy to get frostbite. If there is heating indoors, just move it indoors and take care of it. Be careful to avoid heating equipment, otherwise the plant will easily be burned. To control the temperature well, spray water appropriately to keep it moist and avoid the environment being too dry.

2. Put on plastic bags: If there is no heating equipment in the room and the temperature cannot be controlled well, put on plastic bags. It is best to wrap the entire plant and poke a few holes in it for ventilation. Let it get more sun during the day to avoid frostbite.

3. Build a heat preservation shed: If there are many plants being cultivated, it is recommended to build a simple heat preservation shed. Be sure to choose a place with sufficient light so that they can get more sun during the day. Placing them in the heat preservation shed can also avoid frostbite and enable the plants to safely survive the winter.
