It is important that phalaenopsis blooms almost all year round. The owner only needs to provide the plant with full watering and a stable temperature.

How to care for phalaenopsis

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.

It is important to remember that Phalaenopsis needs to be repotted every two years. The plant does not need special humidity (50% will be enough), you should only occasionally ventilate the room in which the flower is located. The optimum temperature is 18-25°C.
