Now that winter is here, I believe many flower lovers want to know how to take care of Phalaenopsis in winter.

Is Phalaenopsis cold-resistant?

The growth of Phalaenopsis has certain temperature requirements, usually the temperature is around 15-25 degrees, that is to say, southern cities are more suitable, because Phalaenopsis is not cold-resistant. Even in the winter in the south, it must be placed on a closed south balcony or on a south-facing bay window indoors to get more sunlight to ensure its growth temperature.

How to care for Phalaenopsis in winter

When caring for Phalaenopsis in winter, if we want it to bloom beautiful flowers, we must keep it in sufficient sunlight, and keeping it warm is also very important. It is relatively cold outdoors in winter, especially in rainy and snowy weather. Phalaenopsis should be placed indoors in the morning and evening. When the sun comes out at noon, you can place the Phalaenopsis outdoors to let it be exposed to the sun.
On the other hand, when the weather is cold, the evaporation of water from plants is often slow, so another very important point in the care of Phalaenopsis is to control the water. Too much water will not only prevent it from blooming, but will also cause root rot. Therefore, water control is a very important part of the care of Phalaenopsis, which is also one of the reasons why many friends find it difficult to maintain it well.

How to fertilize Phalaenopsis

In spring, only a small amount of fertilizer is needed. Stop fertilizing during the flowering period. After the flowering period, when its new roots and new shoots begin to grow, you can apply liquid fertilizer about once a week. You can also spray it on the leaves.
