How to grow Phalaenopsis

Phalaenopsis is a unique plant native to tropical rainforests. Tropical rainforests are foggy, humid and hot, so Phalaenopsis should be kept in a warm and humid environment. The pseudobulbs of this plant can store nutrients and water, so it is sufficient to water and fertilize on time. In addition, Phalaenopsis also likes an environment with good ventilation. Poor ventilation will affect its flowering period and ornamental value.

2. Temperature control

Phalaenopsis likes to grow in an environment of 15 to 34 degrees, but it has different temperature requirements at different times. In its growing season, the ambient temperature should be controlled at around 26 degrees, in the flowering stage, the temperature should be controlled at around 20 degrees, and after flowering, the temperature should be kept at around 18 degrees, which can effectively extend its flowering period. When there is insufficient light, the temperature cannot exceed 23 degrees, otherwise the flower buds will be damaged.
