Today, I would like to introduce a Phalaenopsis orchid deeply loved by flower enthusiasts - Fangmei Rainbow.

Also known as Fangmei Legend, the Phalaenopsis Fangmei Rainbow belongs to the medium-to-large flower type. Its large flowers feature a pink-to-yellow gradient, with a diameter of 8-9 centimeters, exuding a grand and elegant posture when in full bloom. Under sunlight, the petals reveal a pearlescent texture, while the red spots on the light pink lip add a playful and vivid touch. It’s a foolproof choice for any plant lover.

The blooming period of Phalaenopsis Fangmei Legend is exceptionally long. With proper maintenance, a single flower can remain open for 2-3 months, and the entire plant’s观赏期 (ornamental period) lasts 4-6 months. Even after the flowers wither, reasonable pruning of the residual blooms and continuous care can still prompt the plant to rebloom.

As a variety friendly to beginners, the daily care of Phalaenopsis Fangmei Legend is not difficult. Just master the following key points:

1. **Light**: It is suitable to place in a location with bright diffused light, such as near a living room window or a semi-shaded indoor area. Ensure 2-3 hours of light daily, but avoid direct sunlight. In summer, use a sheer curtain to shade it during high temperatures to prevent petal burns.
2. **Watering**: Follow the principle of "water when the soil is dry, stop when it is moist," and water every 10-15 days. Adjust the frequency according to environmental temperature and humidity. The pot-soaking method is recommended: place the flower pot in a water container, soak for 10 minutes, then remove and drain to ensure the planting medium is fully hydrated without water accumulation. Daily misting of aerial roots is acceptable for humidity, but avoid wetting the leaves to prevent rot.
3. **Temperature**: The optimal growth temperature is 15-30°C. When the temperature drops below 10°C, move it to a warm indoor area promptly, away from air conditioning vents, radiators, and other areas with drastic temperature changes.
4. **Humidity**: Maintain an air humidity of 60%-80%. You can increase humidity by using a humidifier or placing a water-filled tray beside the pot.
5. **Planting Medium**: Use a breathable mixture of sphagnum moss, bark, coconut coir, etc., to provide a good respiratory environment for the roots. It is recommended to replace the planting medium once a year in spring to prevent substrate aging from affecting plant growth.

In summary, Phalaenopsis Fangmei Legend has a long blooming period and is easy to care for. Placing it at home instantly enhances the ambiance, and it also makes an excellent gift.
