Water and fertilizer: Spring and summer are when the Phalaenopsis grows. Give it enough water to ensure that it is dry and wet.

In winter, the water can be stopped almost once a month, depending on the actual situation. In winter, the leaves should be kept in a slightly dry state.

Light temperature: The optimal growth temperature of Phalaenopsis is around 18-28 degrees. Be careful of frostbite when it is below 10 degrees. Phalaenopsis likes a cool environment.
