Orchid Phalaenopsis Blue Royal (Orchid Phalaenopsis Blue Royal)

Care

A suitable location for them is a bright spot in the house, with indirect diffused natural light. Direct exposure to sunlight can cause severe burns to its leaves. Lack of light makes the leaves dark green, while too much light causes them to take on a light green coloration or turn yellow.

Watering

In summer once a week and in winter every 10 to 15 days is usually enough to keep your plant healthy. Before each watering it is important to check the roots of the plant.

The most correct way to water the orchid: Fill a bucket or basin with lukewarm water and put the orchid in it (the water should be up to the rim of the pot), let it sit for about 5 minutes so that the soil is thoroughly wet. Take it out and leave it somewhere to drain before putting it back in place. Otherwise, place it under the tap and wet it for a minute or two, or else spray the roots with water.

Temperature

The ideal temperature is: 18-27 °C with a cold resistance limit (15 °C).

Transplanting

Once it has finished flowering, it will concentrate on growing new roots and leaves in preparation for its new flowers. Don't throw it away, cut the stem off at the base (as long as it is dry) and set it aside. Watering will now be reduced and you will only change her pot when the roots now protrude from the special coating. You need special soil for orchids.

Tips

For watering

• If the plant is dehydrated due to lack of moisture, then the roots will be white.
• If its roots are brown and soft, then it has a lot of moisture.
• The bright green hard roots indicate a healthy plant.
• If your orchid is in a clay pot or a decorative container without holes in the bottom, it is a good idea to check often to see if there is any water left over from watering. The same goes for the saucer, don't let it stagnate in water.
• These are white orchids painted, in most cases, with injected paint. It is very likely, however, that if the orchid gives a secondary bloom on the same branch, it will produce blue flowers again, lighter than their original shade, until the plant is essentially cleared of the dye.
