Whenever it comes to sharing experiences on caring for phalaenopsis, it is believed that ten flower lovers will have ten different suggestions. The reason is that the care methods for phalaenopsis vary in different regional environments and temperature ranges. For example, in the hot summer in the south, it can have many adverse effects on phalaenopsis. So, how can we cool down phalaenopsis in the southern summer?
In the hot summer in the south, it can last up to four months, and often records temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius. If it is exposed to high temperatures for a long time, it is easy to cause its leaves to turn yellow and wilt, growth to slow down, and even wither and die. Therefore, in a high-temperature environment, appropriate shading measures should be provided for phalaenopsis. First of all, make sure that phalaenopsis is not exposed to direct sunlight, because excessive sunlight may cause sunburn on the leaves. Phalaenopsis can be placed in a semi-shaded place, such as under a tree or using a shading net. If it is indoors, phalaenopsis can be placed away from windows or use curtains to adjust the light. But it should be noted that do not place the plant directly in a closed environment, as this can easily lead to poor ventilation and increase the occurrence of pests and diseases.
In addition, in summer when the temperature is relatively high, phalaenopsis needs sufficient water to keep the soil moist, but excessive watering should be avoided to prevent water accumulation at the bottom of the flowerpot and cause root rot. At the same time, the temperature of the surrounding environment can be controlled to increase the evaporation of water around, which can effectively reduce the temperature of the surrounding environment. In addition, in the high-temperature weather in summer, the watering frequency should be increased. Novice flower lovers can use their hands to feel more often whether the surface of the potting soil is dry. If it is dry, water it and pay more attention to keeping the roots moist. At the same time, ensure that the bottom of the flowerpot has good drainage function.
In short, providing appropriate shading for phalaenopsis in the southern summer requires paying attention to avoiding direct sunlight, maintaining appropriate moisture, as well as appropriate temperature and humidity, so as to ensure the healthy growth of phalaenopsis.
