Why did my Phalaenopsis all wilt all at once?

The mistake is to apply too much water, a little water a week is enough.

<> Phalaenopsis leaves become soft and wilted, mostly caused by improper maintenance, watering should be controlled in daily maintenance, avoid excessive watering, and stagnant water should be discharged and dried in time. During the growth period, fertilizer should be applied in time to supplement nutrient consumption, and sufficient light should be given, but it is necessary to avoid exposure to the sun and keep the growing environment warm.

Phalaenopsis leaves become soft and wilted, first observe the dry and wet situation of the pot soil, whether it is too much watering, there is a growth problem caused by waterlogging, the water in the pot should be discharged in time, and loosen the soil, put it in a cool and breathable position to dry, and then reduce watering, keep the pot soil dry, and change the soil if necessary.

In the peak growth period, Phalaenopsis grows rapidly, consumes more nutrients, if the top dressing is not timely, Phalaenopsis can not get timely nutrient supply, it will affect the growth condition, and the leaves become soft and wilted. Thin fertilizer should be applied as soon as possible to supplement nutrients, and a small amount of flower fertilizer can be used for maintenance when watering.

The healthy growth of phalaenopsis also requires the right amount of light, and if the growing environment lacks light for a long time, the leaves of phalaenopsis will soften and wilt due to insufficient photosynthesis. Phalaenopsis should be maintained in a well-ventilated and bright light position, and appropriate light should be given, but direct strong light should be avoided.

The cold tolerance of Phalaenopsis is relatively poor, so a relatively warm growth environment should be maintained, and phalaenopsis should be moved into a warm indoor breeding in winter, and heat preservation and cold protection measures should be taken. If the growth temperature is too low, the phalaenopsis will have growth discomfort, and the leaves will become wilted.

1. What to do if the leaves of Phalaenopsis become soft and wilted: The leaves of Phalaenopsis may be caused by unsuitable watering, fertilization, light and temperature.

2. Too much watering: Phalaenopsis needs more water during the growth period, but if the uncontrolled watering or excessive watering is excessive, the bottom of the pot will cause the bridge to be filial piety, which may cause the leaves of the plant to become soft and wilt and yellow, and will lose the activity of the plant and become dull.

3. Insufficient fertility: during the growth of the plant, the growth rate of phalaenopsis is very fast, so the nutrients consumed are more, if it is not timely when fertilizing, the phalaenopsis can not get sufficient nutrients, the leaves will become soft and wilted, when this situation is found, fertilizer should be applied to the phalaenopsis as soon as possible, and thin fertilizer can be applied to supplement the lack of nutrients of the plant, so that the base can make the plant return to normal growth.

4. Lack of light: Phalaenopsis can not be exposed to strong sunlight, but it can not lack sunlight during growth, if there is a lack of light for a long time, the leaves of Phalaenopsis will reduce the synthesis of nutrients due to no photosynthesis, so that the plant lacks nutrients, the leaves become soft and wilted, and finally even lose the ability to grow, so when maintaining Phalaenopsis orchid at ordinary times, it is best not to put it in a place with poor indoor light for a long time, and place it in a well-lit and well-ventilated environment.

5. The temperature is too low: the cold tolerance of Phalaenopsis is relatively poor, so in winter, you can put Phalaenopsis indoors as soon as possible, if the temperature is too low during the growth period, Phalaenopsis may have soft leaves and wilt, at this time you can wrap a layer of plastic bags or quilts on Phalaenopsis plants to protect against cold.

The causes and solutions for phalaenopsis leaves to become soft and wilted are too much watering and insufficient fertility.

1. Be cautious of watering too much

Phalaenopsis needs more water during the growth period, but if you water uncontrollably or overwater, the bottom of the pot will cause water accumulation, which may cause the leaves of the plant to become soft and wilt and yellow, and will lose the activity of the plant and become dull.

Second, the fertility is insufficient

During the growth of the plant, the growth rate of phalaenopsis is very fast, so it consumes more nutrients, and if it is not timely when fertilizing, the phalaenopsis will not get enough nutrients, and the leaves will become soft and wilted.

When this situation is found, fertilizer should be applied to Phalaenopsis as soon as possible, and thin fertilizer can be applied to supplement the lack of ignition nutrients of the plant, so that the plant can return to normal growth.

Maintenance Precautions:

Phalaenopsis cannot be exposed to strong sunlight, but it cannot lack sunlight during the growth period, and if there is a long-term lack of light, the leaves of Phalaenopsis will reduce the synthesis of nutrients due to the lack of photosynthesis.

Therefore, when maintaining phalaenopsis orchids at ordinary times, it is best not to put it indoors for a long time in a place with poor light and filial piety, but to place it in an environment with good light and good ventilation.

1. Reduce light.

The softening of the leaves of the phalaenopsis mostly occurs in summer, and the hot sun shining on the Phalaenopsis plant will make its leaves wilt and become soft and tumble, so we should try to put the Phalaenopsis plant in a cool and ventilated environment. Be sure to block 50 to 60% of the summer sun, only 2 to 3 hours a day, so that the Phalaenopsis plants can slowly recover.

2. Watering appropriately.

Phalaenopsis plants prefer a moist environment, and sometimes overwatering and stagnant water will cause the leaves of the plant to become soft. So what to do if the Phalaenopsis leaves become soft and wilted? Try to keep the plants in a cool environment to let the water dry as soon as possible, and then reduce the amount of watering.

If there is a lot of water, try to change some dry soil.

3. Control the temperature.

Phalaenopsis prefers a warm environment, and the high temperature in summer is likely to make the plant intolerant and cause the leaves to wilt. If the leaves of the phalaenopsis have softened, the temperature should be strictly controlled between 16 and 30, and once the temperature is above 30, the phalaenopsis should be placed in a cool and ventilated environment, and then sprayed around the plant to cool and moisturize.

Phalaenopsis leaves softenWiltingThe treatment is as follows:

1. Appropriate watering: Phalaenopsis plants like a moist growth environment, and sometimes excessive watering will cause the leaves of the plant to become soft and tumble. Therefore, it is necessary to try to keep the plants in a cool environment to allow the water to dry as soon as possible, and then reduce the amount of watering.

2. Reduce light: The softening of the leaves of the phalaenopsis mostly occurs in summer, and the hot sun shining on the Phalaenopsis plant will make its leaves wilt and become soft, so we should put the Phalaenopsis plant in a cool and ventilated environment as much as possible. Be sure to block out 50 to 60% of the summer sun, and only need 2 to 3 hours of light a day, so that the phalaenopsis plants can slowly recover.

Precautions for raising phalaenopsis

Phalaenopsis has just been repotted for a few months, and the nutrients in the planting material are sufficient, so there is no need for additional fertilization. If you don't change the pot, apply a full-effect compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer every 10 days or so to help Phalaenopsis grow. When growth slows down, you can use less or no fertilizer.

Wait until before flowering, stop the intake of nitrogen fertilizer, and apply potassium dihydrogen phosphate to promote flowering.

Every 10 days, the roots are irrigated with potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution for about 3 consecutive times, which can effectively promote the quality and quantity of flowering. When the butterfly orchid matures and grows strongly, carefully cut off a section of the stem node with a sterilized tool, bury it in a petri dish and cover the surface, and plant, after a period of time, you can see the rooting and germination. If the transplant is carried out, it will be a new pot of Phalaenopsis orchid, and new spores will grow out of the original wound.
