What s going on with a large amount of defoliation in crab claw orchid?

It may be that the temperature of the growing environment is too high. Crab claw orchid likes to grow in a mild environment, and the temperature should not exceed 30.

This can be caused by high temperatures or lack of water. We need to move it to a cooler place and hydrate it at the same time.

Crab claw orchid sheds leaves? Do these 3 points well, firm and green, full of flowers.

Spring Recovery: It is best to make it after the temperature rises.

Put it outdoors, and according to the dry and wet conditions of the soil, water flexibly, the potting soil is not dry and not watered, generally can be watered once every 1-2 days;

Summer: Although the temperature is high and the transpiration is large, because the crab claw orchid is dormant in summer, the potting soil should be kept dry, and it is not too late to water it after 1 day of drying;

Autumn: The weather is gradually less rainy, the temperature is suitable, at this time the crab claw orchid grows vigorously, needs more fertilizer water, should see the pot surface dry that is, water thoroughly, it is best to choose fertilizer water, not clear water;

Winter: It is the flowering period and the blooming period, which can keep the potting soil dry and wet, and the dry and wet can be alternated. It is necessary to follow the above cultivation method.

Reasons for the loss of leaves of crab claw orchid:

1. Excessive watering: Crab claw orchid, also known as Christmas cactus, belongs to the cactus family, fleshy root plants, drought and waterlogging tolerance, can not stand the water, usually the soil is kept moist and dry to a good degree, watering is best when the soil is dry and then watered thoroughly. Now in such a cold weather, watering is even less necessary, and it is okay to water once a week or two.

2. The temperature is too low: the temperature of crab claw orchid is 2-25, the temperature is too high in summer, and it is in the dormant period. And now it's winter, and the indoor temperature of the crab claw orchid should not be lower than 15, otherwise it will be cold and frozen, and it is easy to fall off leaves.

If the temperature difference in the maintenance environment is too large, it is also very easy to lose leaves.

3. Excessive fertilization: During the growth of crab claw orchid, we will fertilize it in order to promote the flowering of crab claw orchid, but the fertilization should not be excessive and too concentrated, nor can we use raw fertilizer that is not rotten, otherwise crab claw orchid will burn its roots and cause leaf loss. Fertilizer can be applied before flowering to promote the blooming of flower buds, but less application, no need to fertilize during flowering, easy to drop flowers.

Personally, it is recommended to use the nutrient solution to dilute it directly with water, which is easy to control the concentration, and it is good to use it once every half a month or so.

4. Pest and disease problems: Crab claw orchid is diseased or insect infestation, and if it grows unhealthy, it will have yellow leaves or even leaves, which requires crab owners to use more snacks for small crabs, observe its condition, and use insecticides as soon as possible to save it.

Overwatering is a common cause of leaf loss in crab claw orchids

In fact, when raising crab claw orchid in summer and autumn, everyone should pay attention, because this plant is in a dormant state, if the watering method is improper, or the water in the pot, there will be rot at the base of the crab claw orchid leaves, and then it will be broken directly.

At too high temperatures, there is a high chance that the leaves of the crab claw orchid will be dehydrated due to excessive evaporation. Over time, these blades become prone to falling. At this time, we need to move it to a cooler location and spray a small amount of water mist in the middle of the blade.

Overwatering. Excessive watering is a common cause of the loss of leaves in the crab claw orchid, the crab claw orchid needs a more humid growth environment, but there can be no excessive water accumulation, if the root water will cause the root to rot, affecting the growth of the leaves, so that the leaves dry up and fall off.

The fertilizer is too strong. Crab claw orchid defoliation may also be caused by fertilizer, when too much fertilizer water, it will lead to plant root fertilizer damage, causing the problem of leaf loss, then we need to reduce the number of fertilization, summer plants are in the dormant period, there is no need to fertilize; When the fertilizer water is too thick, it will cause poor absorption of the plant, and it will also cause leaf loss, so we should dilute the fertilizer before watering the plant.

Pest control. When crab claw orchid is infected with insect pests during growth, it will also lose its leaves, and if it is not removed, it will cause the whole plant to wilt and die. Once found, it is necessary to cut off the diseased branches, improve the growth environment, and buy special insect repellent agents in the market for spraying, so that the plants can grow new leaves again.

If you hold the leaves, it's autumn now, and if you're in autumn, it's normal to be confined.

There are reasons why crab claw orchids shed their leaves, these are what you are looking for, don't ignore them.

Summary. The leaves of green plants are yellowed and withered, mainly for these reasons. The first reason is that the sunlight is too strong in summer, and the strong light burns the leaves cause water loss, resulting in yellow leaves and leaf loss.

The second reason is improper watering, lack of water in the roots, dry air or stagnant water to the roots. The third reason is improper breeding, infected with pests and diseases. The fourth most important reason is that plants lack sufficient nutrients during the growth process, and some parts of the plant are poorly developed, which will lead to problems such as yellowing of leaves, rotten leaves, and wilting leaves.

Generally, the yellowing of plant leaves is caused by insufficient nutrition.

It is recommended to use Zhiyong No. 3 regularly, it uses the latest plant nutrition formula, different from the general nutrient solution, Zhiyong No. 3 contains all the nutrients that plants need, and continues to provide nutrients that can be directly absorbed, so that plant nutrients can be fully absorbed.

Generally, the yellowing of plant leaves is caused by insufficient nutrition.

This Zhiyong No. 3 is specially developed for potted flowers, such as the common fortune tree, happiness tree, money tree, pothos, rich bamboo, monstera, orchid, gardenia, succulent and other green plants.
