Teach you a few quick ways to solve the whitening and softening of hanging orchid leaves!

Now many people like to raise several pots of green plants at home, because green plants not only decorate the space, but also have the effect of purifying the air. However, it is easy to have all kinds of problems in the process of breeding, so here are some quick ways to solve the whitening and softening of hanging orchid leaves! Make your orchid basin lush.

First, the introduction of hanging orchids

1. Cymbidium is not a native plant of our country, but a cup plant of asparagus which is native to southern Africa. The orchid has different names in different places. In Western Europe, it is called spider grass, airplane grass, and others such as weeping potted grass, bluegrass and so on.

two。 The leaves of Cymbidium are clumpy and slender linetypes, which are similar to the leaves of orchids. The orchid is a clustered white flower with occasionally purple petals growing in its inflorescence. The orchid will blossom in May and bear fruit in August every year, and the fruit is oblate.

3. In addition to its high ornamental and purification effect, its whole grass and root can be used as medicine, and has a certain effect on the treatment of cough, sputum, fracture, scabies carbuncle and swelling.

Here, I would like to remind you to eat (use) as a medicinal orchid, you should prescribe a prescription according to a professional doctor, and do not use your own medicine at will.

Second, the specific methods to solve the whitening and softening of hanging orchid leaves.

Although the above introduces some about the form and function of Cymbidium, but as a flower friend is most concerned about the cultivation of Cymbidium, so the following is easy to explain the whitening and softening problems in the process of culture.

1. Cymbidium leaves become white and soft caused by lack of water: although Cymbidium is a relatively drought-tolerant plant, its moist growth environment, whether caused by lack of water in the soil or too dry air, makes the leaves whiten and soften.

Solution: if there is a lack of water, just replenish the water to the orchid, but be careful not to pour too much water at once, and keep the air humid and spray some water on the leaves from time to time.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the soil is a little moist, do not water, if the soil is dry, you should remember to replenish water. In the hot summer, the orchid can be watered every morning and evening, and the amount and frequency of watering can be reduced in winter.

two。 Watering too much rotten roots leads to whitening and softening of Cymbidium leaves: roots are the main organs for plants to absorb water and nutrients, and if the roots are rotten, they will not only become white and soft, but also make the plant die.

Solution: first of all, take the orchid out of the flowerpot to see the degree of rotten root. If the root is slightly rotten, the injured root can be removed, and the intact and healthy root can be changed and replanted. Pay attention to applying appropriate amount of fertilizer and water to the plant to promote the growth of new roots; if the rotten root is very serious, you can only give up the plant and replant it.

3. Lack of light or sun exposure leads to whitening and softening of Cymbidium leaves: in addition to their own roots to absorb nutrients to provide growth, photosynthesis is also an important part. This will happen if you stay in no light or hot sun for a long time.

Solution: if there is not enough light, move it to a place with light, and the hot sun in summer should pay attention to shade or move to a cool place.

4. Excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer leads to whitening and softening of Cymbidium leaves: plants will not grow well without nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, but excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer will also cause leaves to whiten and soften.

Solution: if the situation is not serious, the hanging orchid can take the method of irrigation to dilute the nitrogen fertilizer in the soil, and the more serious situation can only be replanted by changing the soil.

5. Cymbidium leaves become white and soft caused by root rot, scale insects, whitefly and other diseases and insect pests: diseases and insect pests are also one of the main reasons for leaf whitening and softening, so we should pay attention to prevention and control.

Solution: to prevent and cure root rot, attention should be paid to the drainage and ventilation of orchids, and the management of water and fertilizer should be strengthened. Cut off the leaves with worms in time, or use the corresponding insecticide.

So generally speaking, as long as we pay attention to light, water and fertilizer and pest control, there will be no problem. In addition, it is also necessary to take careful care, do not think of it to take care of the orchid, so it is impossible to raise well.
