Usually we use some broken bones and cake fertilizer as the base, and then put it in a cooler place after transplanting. At this time, we should also fully water the leaves, spray some on the leaves, and then apply fertilizer once or twice a month, so that the new leaves can grow easily and the whole plant will grow more healthily.

Solution: a leaf orchid can be placed in a dark environment, but it is best to move it to a bright environment every once in a while to feel the temperature of the sun, which is more conducive to growth and viewing. Especially during the period from the growth of new leaves to maturity, try to keep them in a bright place.

3. Overwatering. Solution: one-leaf orchid watering should be dry and wet, not too much, but not too little. Sufficient water is needed during the growth period, but there must be no stagnant water.

4. Fertilizing is too thick. Solution: fertilization should not be too frequent, apply thin liquid fertilizer once every 15 days to promote the germination and growth of branches and leaves, ensure that the leaves are beautiful and bright, and do not apply too much fertilizer.
