The Phalaenopsis "Wedding Dress" belongs to the large - flowered type of Phalaenopsis. The flower diameter can reach 10 cm. When it blooms on the branches, it stands gracefully, fully demonstrating its magnificent beauty. Its petals are pure white and have a wonderful fluorescent effect. The touch of bright red that spreads just right on both sides of the petals is like the blush on a maiden's face when she is shy, charming and lovely.

The inflorescence of the Phalaenopsis "Wedding Dress" is even more amazing. Each side branch beside the flower stalk can give birth to a gorgeous sea of flowers. During the full - bloom period, the flowers on the branches are closely arranged, looking lively and prosperous. Moreover, the flower stalk of the Phalaenopsis "Wedding Dress" is soft in texture and highly malleable. Florists can fully utilize their creative imaginations to shape it into various exquisite forms.

The Phalaenopsis "Wedding Dress" has a relatively long flowering period. With careful maintenance, the flowering period can last 2 - 3 months. Generally, the natural flowering period is in winter and spring, which can just add a touch of romantic atmosphere to the festivals.

The treatment after the flowers wither is of great importance as it is related to the subsequent growth and re - blooming of the plant. First, use a disinfected pair of scissors to cut off the withered flowers at 2 - 3 nodes above the base of the flower stem to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients. After pruning, move the Phalaenopsis to a place with good ventilation and sufficient scattered light. At the same time, reduce the frequency of watering. Keep the growing medium slightly moist, as the plant's water demand decreases at this time. In terms of fertilization, stop using the flower - promoting fertilizer and change to a thin liquid fertilizer. Apply it once a month to replenish the nutrients consumed during flowering and help the plant regain its vitality.

In daily maintenance, light is crucial. The Phalaenopsis "Wedding Dress" likes scattered light. Avoid direct strong light. It can be placed beside a windowsill indoors where it is bright but not directly exposed to sunlight. The suitable temperature is maintained at 15 - 25 °C. Pay attention to ventilation and cooling in high - temperature summers and take good heat - preservation measures in winter. Watering should follow the principle of "watering when the soil is dry and keeping it moist". Water the plant when the surface of the growing medium is dry, and water thoroughly to prevent waterlogging and root rot. Fertilization should be carried out with thin fertilizers applied frequently. Apply a thin compound fertilizer once every 1 - 2 weeks during the growth period, and increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before the flowering period to promote flower bud differentiation. As long as you master these maintenance points, the Phalaenopsis "Wedding Dress" can bloom every year, bringing endless beauty to life.
