As a kind of desert plant, Hu Pilan has a very high ability to adapt to the environment, and has a certain effect of purifying the air, especially it can absorb most of the harmful gases, so it is also one of the common family plants. What is the secret of tiger skin orchid growing tall? What is the reason for yellowing and softening of leaves?

First, how does Tiger Pilan grow tall? Master these secrets

1. Soil

Tiger Pilan needs loose soil with air permeability, otherwise it will be difficult for the water to evaporate, resulting in rotting of the rhizome. Therefore, when we prepare potted soil for Tiger Pilan, we can use 2 to 3 rotten leaves, plus 1 to 3 garden soil, so that the potted soil will be loose and breathable, laying the groundwork for Tiger Pilan to burst the basin and grow higher.

2. Temperature

Tiger Pilan also has high requirements for temperature. The most suitable temperature for the growth of Phellodendron amurense is 20-30 ℃. In winter, the lowest temperature must not be lower than 10 ℃. Therefore, flower friends in the north should pay attention to the temperature control of Tiger Pilan.

3. Sunshine

As a light-loving plant, Tiger Pilan needs to be exposed to sunlight for a long time. Therefore, we'd better put the tiger Pilan in a place where it can be exposed to the sun for a long time. If the balcony faces north or the conditions are limited, put Tiger Pilan closer to the sun as much as possible, because putting Tiger Pilan in a dark environment for a long time will cause its leaves to turn yellow.

4. Fertilization

During the growing period, there is a great need for fertilization to replenish nutrients, but in addition to the long-term growth period, there is no need to pay attention to fertilizing Tiger Pilan. In addition, Hu Pilan does not have high requirements for fertilizer. During the growing period, it is OK to water the thin pancakes every 10 to 15 days.

5. Watering

Watering tiger skin orchid to grasp the principle of dry rather than wet, usually use clean water to scrub its leaves to keep the tiger skin orchid leaves clean. When new plants sprout from the rhizome of Phellodendron in spring, we should pour more water on it to keep the basin soil moist, as well as in summer. But after the end of autumn, we should control the amount of water to keep the basin soil relatively dry, so as to enhance the cold resistance of Tiger Pilan.

6. Change the basin

As a perennial plant, Hu Pilan needs us to change its pots every two years. Because when changing the basin, we will also inject new soil and nutrients into the basin, so as to provide the necessary nutrition for the growth of Tiger Pilan and pave the way for its further growth.

Second, what is the reason for the yellowing and softening of leaves in Tiger Pilan?

1. Overwatering

If watered more, Hu Pilan's leaves will also become soft, and the color appears to be very dim. In winter, friends should stop watering Tiger Pilan. If you replenish it frequently, it will only increase the burden on the plant and, in serious cases, cause some problems in the root system. In addition, the watering method is incorrect, which will make the leaves appear some spots and, in serious cases, make the leaves soft. Friends can't water the plants at noon, and water can't splash on the leaves.

2. Excessive illumination

If the color of the top of the leaves becomes lighter and bends gradually, it means that the light is too strong. In summer, the light is relatively strong, and the leaves will soften due to more water evaporation. Friends should give the tiger skin orchid proper shade, as long as put the tiger skin orchid in a semi-shady environment, the plant will soon return to health.

3. Disease invasion

When Hu Pilan is infected with soft rot, there will be some spots on the leaves from the bottom. If not treated in time, the whole leaf will collapse. Friends need to put the plants in a ventilated environment in time, which can reduce the chance of getting sick, so that the growth of tiger Pilan can return to normal.
