I believe that many first time breeding Phalaenopsis flower friends, will encounter such a problem is - do not know how to raise! Although Phalaenopsis is not so easy to die, it is also difficult to keep it well. This paper summarizes some personal experiences of two different flower friends on the daily maintenance of Phalaenopsis, so this paper is worth reading carefully.
Colorful Phalaenopsis: daily maintenance of Phalaenopsis
My cultivation medium of Phalaenopsis is mainly water moss, and it's also very important to choose the container for it. I bought small baskets for silk flowers and small baskets for wood strips.
Butterfly orchid like high temperature, high humidity, ventilation environment, temperature can be maintained at about 26 degrees Celsius, wintering temperature is not less than 15 ℃, air humidity is 50-80%, if the air humidity is too low, you can use humidifier, you can also spray water on the leaves, 2 or 3 times a day, remember not to spray flowers when flowering, it is easy to lead to early withering of flowers, flowering period is shortened.
Butterfly orchid is afraid of concentrated fertilizer, the concentration of fertilizer solution should be low, and a small amount of special nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer for orchid should be mixed in the water every time. It can be watered but not fertilized in flowering period. It is better not to water and fertilize in low temperature or rainy days.
In addition, Phalaenopsis most avoid strong light direct, winter can see more sunlight, summer placed in the ventilated scattered light, outdoor to do shading treatment.
The roots of Phalaenopsis are fleshy and easy to rot in stagnant water. The selection of baskets as containers for raising Phalaenopsis is mentioned below. I soak the basin every 20 days or so (usually spray water on the leaves). After soaking, I hang up the basket and control the dry water before putting it back to its original place.

Flower friend 2:
My secret is two words: absolute water. Flowering Phalaenopsis, I do not water, on the south bay window, day light, air conditioning at night in winter. Basically, after three or four months, the temperature turns warm, the planting substrate (water MOSS) dries up, a little less water is poured to maintain flowering, and the flower buds will open slowly, and sometimes there are new flower buds.
My Phalaenopsis can bloom again in the next year. The method is: when it's all withered, cut off the flower branches, irrigate enough water, keep the leaves alive, apply thin fertilizer and water in November, report the flower branches, and stop water after a large number of flowers.
Phalaenopsis around the Spring Festival is not long, because of improper watering, a watering, flowers will fall.
