Orchids and Parasites

Phalaenopsis orchids should be transferred approximately once a year. Use the appropriate size of the crucible and the plant transferred to a special soil for orchids (substrate), which is to settle around the roots, while at the same time provide room for root aeration.
If a flower needs medical attention ...
Phalaenopsis orchids should be reviewed if the aphides, cochineal, mites and snails. Cochineal is one of the most common parasites in the Phalaenopsis orchid, and it can be removed with a soft cloth or cotton cloth, soaked in isopropyl alcohol.
