Phalaenopsis is difficult to successfully cultivate indoors, mainly because the indoor effect cannot be achieved in the greenhouse. It must grow above 10°C and below 30°C. It will freeze to death below 5°C.
In addition to this, it likes environments with extremely high humidity. It is usually necessary to spray the leaves once or twice with more ventilation after watering.
Too hot in summer is not good for plant growth, and too cold in winter is easy to get frostbite, so we'd better keep it between 15 degrees and 25 degrees, so as not to stop growing because of too cold. heat, or frostbite from being too cold.
2. Appropriate amount of water.
Spring and summer are the peak growth seasons for Phalaenopsis. You can water once a day and spray the leaves 2 to 3 times to keep the plants moist.
In autumn and winter, as the temperature decreases, the amount of watering should also be reduced accordingly, watering once every 5 days on average, do not spray the leaves. Phalaenopsis are very delicate and perishable after standing in water. A lot of people put it to death because of this.

Phalaenopsis need nutrients to bloom. It needs less but not more nutrients. Its succulent roots can only absorb thin fertilizers, and if there is too much, it will easily rot the roots.

At the same time, you can also change the pot once, and cut off all the dead and rotten roots of the Phalaenopsis. After that, you can turn the pot for normal maintenance, which can save nutrients and promote growth.
