The European small blue Phalaenopsis has delicate small flowers and an elegant color. The petals often have a thin white border. The European small blue Phalaenopsis not only has bright flower colors but also has straight branches and green leaves, with extremely high overall ornamental value.
The petal color of the European small blue Phalaenopsis is mainly blue. This blue is not only deep but also full of mystery. Combined with the white fine border, it appears even more noble and elegant. As a plant native to the tropical rainforests of Asia, the European small blue Phalaenopsis likes an environment with good ventilation, moderate temperature, and high humidity. They also have relatively special requirements for soil. They need a substrate with good air permeability, strong drainage, strong water retention capacity, and moderate acidity. Therefore, special attention needs to be paid to these growth conditions during cultivation to ensure their healthy growth.
Although the European small blue Phalaenopsis requires certain skills in maintenance, as long as the correct maintenance methods are mastered, they are not difficult to raise. Here are some key maintenance points:
The root system of the European small blue Phalaenopsis is a fleshy root and is prone to root rot. Therefore, ordinary soil cannot be used for the potting soil. It is recommended to use a substrate mixed with pine needles, peanut shells, bark shreds, etc., or purchase special orchid soil for Phalaenopsis. These substrates have good air permeability and strong drainage, which are conducive to the growth and respiration of the root system.
The European small blue Phalaenopsis likes an environment with scattered light and avoids direct sunlight. During the growth period, it can be placed in a place with scattered light indoors, such as a position close to the window but not directly exposed to sunlight. Before and after the flowering period, appropriate increase in light can promote the opening and beauty of the flowers.
The suitable temperature range for the growth of the European small blue Phalaenopsis is between 15°C and 28°C. Within this temperature range, they can grow and bloom well. In summer, when the temperature is high, attention should be paid to cooling and ventilation to avoid the plant entering a dormant state due to excessive temperature; in winter, heat preservation and cold protection are needed to avoid frostbite due to too low temperature.
The European small blue Phalaenopsis likes a high-humidity environment, but waterlogging is not conducive to its growth. Therefore, when watering, follow the principle of "water when dry", that is, wait until the surface of the cultivation substrate dries before watering thoroughly. At the same time, water can be sprayed around the plant frequently to increase air humidity. This should be especially noted in dry seasons.
The European small blue Phalaenopsis needs a good ventilation environment to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases. Special attention should be paid to ventilation during the growth period to avoid the adverse effects of a muggy and humid environment on the plant. In addition, when the sun is strong in summer, appropriate shading is needed to prevent the leaves from being sunburned.
The maintenance difficulty of the European small blue Phalaenopsis is moderate. As long as the correct maintenance methods are mastered and careful care is taken, for flower enthusiasts with certain gardening experience, maintaining the European small blue Phalaenopsis is not a difficult task.
