Today, I must introduce to you the beauty representative among Phalaenopsis orchids - the Frosted Sugar Angel Phalaenopsis. It has an otherworldly charm, and placing it at home can instantly enhance the style of the room.

The Frosted Sugar Angel is also known as the White Angel. Just as its name suggests, its flowers are pure and white. The flower diameter is about 4 cm. The diamond-shaped petals have smooth lines and a delicate texture. The tongue part has a hint of yellow, and the speckled patterns on the sepals are really eye-catching. In the sunlight, it will also exude a faint, almost imperceptible fragrance.

When it comes to maintenance, if you find that the petals of the Frosted Sugar Angel are wilting, don't panic. Once you identify the cause, you can take targeted measures.

Watering issues: Overwatering can easily lead to root rot, which in turn causes the petals to wilt. In this case, quickly take the plant out of the flower pot, trim off the rotten roots, soak it in a carbendazim solution for disinfection, let it dry, and then replant it in new planting medium. If you water too little, replenish the water in a timely manner, but don't water too much at once. Slowly water it thoroughly to let it gradually regain its vitality.

Lighting issues: If it gets sunburned due to too strong light, immediately move it to a cool and well-ventilated place and spray some water appropriately to help it recover.

Temperature issues: Excessively high or low temperatures can also cause the petals to wilt. When the temperature is high, strengthen ventilation and spray water to cool it down; when the temperature is low, quickly move it to a warm indoor environment.

Daily maintenance

Lighting: The Frosted Sugar Angel likes bright diffused light. Never let strong direct light hit it, otherwise the leaves are easily burned. Placing it indoors near the window where the sunlight doesn't directly shine on it is just perfect.

Temperature: The most suitable temperature for its growth is between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. In summer, pay attention to cooling down, and in winter, be sure to take good warming measures, otherwise it can't withstand the cold.

Watering: Follow the principle of "watering when the planting medium is dry and seeing it become wet again". Water it when the surface of the planting medium is dry, and water it thoroughly. Generally, watering once a week is sufficient, but the specific frequency still needs to be adjusted according to the actual environment. When watering, be careful not to let water accumulate on the leaves and in the center of the leaves, otherwise it is likely to cause rotting.

Fertilization: During the vigorous growth period, you can apply a thin liquid fertilizer every 1 to 2 weeks. Don't fertilize during the dormant period.

As long as you master these little maintenance tips, you can keep the Frosted Sugar Angel Phalaenopsis looking beautiful all the time.
