How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water your phalaenopsis orchids early in a morning. This insures complete water evaporation on a foliage as well as a crown by nightfall. Water with rain, distilled, or reverse-osmosis water as a mix approaches dryness. Never use water that has been softened by a water softener.
Pruning
By removing overgrown foliage, you will improve airflow to the plant, and light will be better able to penetrate all portions of the plant. This actually leads to a fuller and healthier-looking houseplant.
Fertilizer
Universal fertilizer is a granular and mineral product intended for the fertilization of all types of garden cultivations. Its balanced content is suitable both for fruit trees, fruit bushes, vegetables, and ornamental plants. The even composition of individual elements makes the fertilizer universal.
