Who has never bought or received an orchid as a gift? This unique floral plant is highly prized for its beauty and delicacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the many varieties, the phalaenopsis<\/em><\/strong> orchid is undoubtedly the most widespread and the easiest to grow, as it is the one that best adapts to the climate of our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The orchid, however, is also famous for being a plant that causes quite a few problems: sometimes the roots<\/strong> can rot, the leaves<\/strong> fall. But above all, flowering sometimes does not last long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this variety, flowering can occur starting from March and usually lasts during the warm months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what is the best way to care for the phalaenopsis<\/em><\/strong> orchid and ensure abundant and long-lasting flowering?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s see together how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attention<\/strong> : for any problems or doubts, please contact your trusted florist<\/strong> or gardener .<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The right amount of water is essential for prolonged flowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This plant doesn’t need too much water, but it still needs to be watered properly to stay healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In spring and summer, water once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In autumn<\/strong> and winter<\/strong> , however, one every two weeks<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n I forgot, if you like these Natural Tips I can send them to you every day directly via WHATSAPP! <\/strong>;;Subscribe to my channel! I wait for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideal is to water by submersion<\/strong> . How to do? It’s very simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Place your orchid<\/strong> in the sink<\/strong> or sink with<\/strong> about 5cm of water and let it soak for at least 10 minutes<\/strong> . Then drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During this time, the orchid<\/strong> will absorb all the water it needs through the pot’s drainage holes .<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fertilizing the Phalaenopsis<\/strong><\/em> orchid is important so that it can have longer and more abundant<\/strong> flowering .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Choose specific fertilizers or ones based on <\/strong>potassium<\/strong> , nitrogen<\/strong> and magnesium<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n These elements strengthen the plant<\/strong> so that it can perform at its best during the flowering period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some fertilizers<\/strong> or fertilizers<\/strong> are liquid<\/strong> and simply need to be diluted in the irrigation water according to the production instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Administer the feed once a month during the hot months<\/strong> , once every two months during the cold months<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where to place the phalaenopsis<\/em><\/strong> orchid during the flowering period?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideal would be to keep it indoors, at a temperature between 18 and 26 \u00b0C<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, light<\/strong> is fundamental: abundant, but not direct<\/strong> . It can be placed on the sill of an oriented <\/strong>window<\/strong> , keeping it somewhat sheltered when the sunlight is too intense.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a window with opaque glass<\/strong> (like those in bathrooms) you can put it there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it must be remembered that the orchid needs to feel a thermal recovery<\/strong> between summer and autumn to start developing new branches and new buds<\/strong> that will bloom in spring<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, in the autumn period, store it in an unheated <\/strong>place <\/strong>and<\/strong> away from direct heat sources, such as stoves<\/strong> or temperature radiators<\/strong> .<\/strong> <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Normally, the phalaenopsis<\/em> <\/strong> orchid is sold in clear <\/strong>plastic<\/strong> pots . Many people put it in terracotta or ceramic pots: it’s a big mistake.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This plant, in fact, has very sensitive<\/strong> roots that must be reached by sunlight: otherwise, there could be problems with flowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this reason it is necessary to always store it in transparent<\/strong> bottles .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not cover or prune the roots<\/strong> , otherwise the plant could suffer irreparable damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This plant gives its best when the humidity<\/strong> level is quite high (between 40 and 60%). For this reason, one of the best places to have it is the bathroom<\/strong> which, compared to other rooms, has a higher humidity level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternatively, you can spray some water on the leaves <\/strong> and flowers with a spray bottle: do this every 3-4 days to naturally increase the humidity level of the orchid. <\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pests, unfortunately, are around the corner, especially lice and aphids which can weaken the plant and cause problems during the flowering period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you keep the plant indoors<\/strong> , there is less chance of it being attacked by these insects. However, it can still happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The remedy? You can spray the plant with a mixture of water and Marseille soap<\/strong> , repeating the process every 2-3 days<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if the infestation continues, you need to choose a specific product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If these plants give you other problems<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Who has never bought or received an orchid as a gift?
