Orchids require special watering: the pot is simply immersed in a container filled with warm water and kept there for about 15-20 minutes.
It is better to put the plant on the windowsill, located in the southwest side, so that direct sunlight does not fall on it.
Watering phalaenopsis is carried out only after the substrate dries and becomes crumbly to the touch.
You can fertilize plants using only specialized mixtures or top dressing for orchids.
