growing Phalaenopsis About I will retire a small blog with growing instructions Phalaenopsis but I want to keep the entry so I hang here to be closely related to the theme of this blog.
Good afternoon / as in this page I will have some 
are some things about growing one of the most popular orchids. The group of which I speak is that of Phalaenopsis also known as moth orchids. This genus lives in Southeast Asia and consists of about 60 species and countless hybrids, which are normally found in stores. They are epiphytes, or live on trees, explaining that the substrate on which plants usually bark fragments, and that the sherds are very small relative to the ground (they do not need more) have many roots that are out of it and also require light (hence the pots are usually transparent) has some features that make it very attractive for cultivation:
Flowering
- lasting: it is common for flowering lasts 3 months or more.
- Its easy to grow because all they need: a watering every 7-10 days in these latitudes, that if, avoiding tap water and having a lot of lime. As in almost all plants best an understatement. Many
- avoiding direct sun light, but nothing happens if the sun gives them a while.
- If our orchid blooms remain strong and regular, it is important to the subscriber of the plant. For this purpose liquid fertilizer for orchids, which are typically applied every 15 days to suspend payment during flowering and rest periods of plant, the latter correspond to periods when the plant or no growth of leaves or roots or inflorescences.
- Some considerations on the ground: After finishing flourish, it must cut the flower stem below where it was the first flower and above the last bud not developed, which can induce the orchid to produce new shoots flowers.
is useful to know something of where things live to understand their biology. As mentioned above advancement is an epiphyte that grows in the treetops, in areas with high humidity and living in crevices. Receiving nutrients from the decomposition of wood and dead leaves that fall on their roots. May be weeks without water or under the monsoon rains ... plant living in areas with good drainage and growing the plant with water storage organs like roots and leaves themselves. Growing on trees and receive direct rainfall has made the plant has adapted to very low mineralization waters and can tolerate no subscribers with classic chemical fertilizer.
has earlier been discussed general features of these plants while they may have different characteristics, we must bear in mind that there are some 60 species from the hybrids which are usually grown, so we were not rare should make differences in the biology of crop plants. Election
orchids: On three things we should be set to acquire a phalaenopsis, the first are the roots, should have plenty of healthy-looking roots, it is normal to go out of the pot, the second is the leaves should of being healthy, and the third is cut flowers, you should choose specimens with closed buds, with few or no aborted bud.
Another important factor is price, ranging from 11 € to 30 € with the value function over the site where you can buy that plant though of course it also influences the intrinsic value of the specimen (rarity, beauty, status etc..). For medium-sized healthy individuals a good price is for 18 to 20 € 11-12 € prices remain good prices but everything is relative and sometimes found at 12-15 € copies should be worth much less in poor conditions or belong to varieties unattractive, by color or number of flowers per stem. Anyway many nurseries ask 25 or 30 € for individuals who do not worth the status of their flowers, or plant in general.
