When cultivating Phalaenopsis, it can only grow quickly and bloom in time if the ambient temperature is suitable. Phalaenopsis is a plant that likes a warm environment. It grows fastest when the ambient temperature is between 17 and 20 degrees, but it must be ventilated in time when the ambient temperature exceeds 20 degrees. However, it cannot be placed in an environment below 15 degrees during normal cultivation, otherwise its growth will be affected by the low temperature.

Precautions for breeding Phalaenopsis

1. Phalaenopsis is a plant that likes high humidity environment. During the cultivation period, you must pay attention to the regulation of air humidity, especially in hot summer weather. You must spray water on its leaves in time to keep the air humidity between 80% and 90%. But in autumn and winter, when the ambient temperature drops below 18 degrees, you must pay attention to ventilation to reduce air humidity, otherwise it will cause high incidence of diseases.

2. Phalaenopsis is also a fertilizer-loving plant, but it is afraid of concentrated fertilizer. During the cultivation period, you must pay attention to applying thin fertilizer frequently, only in this way can it grow quickly. After Phalaenopsis enters the flowering period, you can apply an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer in time, which can prompt it to bloom more and more beautiful flowers. During the cultivation period of Phalaenopsis, you must also pay attention to repotting. Late May is a good time to repot it. Within 20 days after repotting, you cannot apply fertilizer, and you should provide sufficient recovery time for the roots of Phalaenopsis.
