Surely, every flower grower wishes that their flowers always look beautiful! Especially for expensive flowers like Phalaenopsis, besides wanting the flowers to be beautiful, people also want to choose flower pots that are pleasing to the eye. However, in the flower market, don't be misled by the good-looking flower pots. Choosing a flower pot is just like buying shoes. Just being good-looking is not enough; it must also fit well. For flower pots, the maintenance methods vary completely depending on the different materials of the pots.
Most people, when wanting to create a "gorgeous home" for Phalaenopsis, will probably first think of a transparent glass bottle, because with glass, you can clearly see every root and even every leaf inside. So, among the numerous styles in the market, how can we choose a good one?
First of all, it is recommended to choose a glass bottle of moderate size. It should not be too big or too small, which can provide a comfortable growth space for Phalaenopsis. At the same time, pay attention that the glass bottle should not be too thin, because the inner part needs to bear a certain amount of water pressure and the weight of the plant. The mouth of the bottle should be wide, which is convenient for later maintenance and pruning.
After choosing the flower pot, the key point is to arrange the layout according to the growth direction of the roots. Here's a little tip: first select some brand-new sphagnum moss and remember to soak and wash it clean before use. After soaking, start laying it at the bottom of the bottle. Gently wrap the roots of the Phalaenopsis with the sphagnum moss, just like wrapping zongzi. At this time, the action should be gentle because its roots are very slender and easy to break. Finally, press it a little more firmly when closing the top, and then it's done.
The reason why there are so many transparent glass flower pots for Phalaenopsis in the market is that the transparency allows you to observe its growth status most intuitively and quickly. If you find mold spots or insects during the maintenance process, you can deal with them immediately. Otherwise, the plant is likely to die due to diseases.
In addition, when using sphagnum moss as the cultivation medium, remember to replace the sphagnum moss regularly. Replace it when there are situations such as the growth of moss, mold spots, or excessive moisture inside. There are also some tips for watering. Just keep the soil moist, and pay special attention to the cleanliness of the water quality. I suggest that you can first collect the water and place it next to the Phalaenopsis, and let it stand for a few days before using it.
