What if the latest Phalaenopsis leaves are rotten?

Phalaenopsis is a very beautiful flowering plant, as a potted plant, both can decorate the home environment, but also for appreciation. And it has a wide variety, rich in color, if we can plant a number of varieties, then to the flowering period will inevitably present a colorful scene.

However, in order to make potted Phalaenopsis appear in the most beautiful posture, in addition to providing a good growth environment, daily maintenance management work must be done well. If the management is not in place, it may also have a variety of adverse symptoms, both affecting growth and flowering, but also reducing the ornamental value.

Rotten leaves are a common symptom of many flower plants, usually caused by poor conservation environment or improper management. If the rotten leaves are not cut off in time, the rotten leaves will breed a lot of harmful bacteria, which will infect the healthy leaves and may eventually lead to plant death.

The appearance of rotten leaves in Phalaenopsis is either caused by excessive ambient temperature, poor ventilation and excessive humidity, or by soft rot of the plant. For the former, we can usually improve the situation by cutting off rotten leaves, improving the conservation environment, and then applying appropriate drugs to sterilize.

However, if the plant is infected with soft rot, it is often troublesome to deal with it. In addition to cutting off rotten leaves, it is also necessary to properly control water and humidity, improve ventilation conditions, and do more environmental cooling treatment. Mancozeb solution was sprayed to the plants once a month during the disease period.

The cut diseased leaves and branches should not be left in the basin, but should be destroyed in time, otherwise it is easy to leave harmful bacteria in the basin, thus continuing to infect and destroy the plants. Generally, we only need to cut off the diseased leaves and then spray them with drugs. It is not necessary to cut off the healthy leaves, otherwise it will affect the growth of the plants.

However, if the disease of the plant is serious, in addition to following the above methods, it is recommended that you change the pot and soil in time, and then plant it again. When watering later, add a little mancozeb or Bordeaux mixture to the water to thoroughly clean up these harmful bacteria.

However, if Phalaenopsis is infected with soft rot, it is often caused by inappropriate growth environment. That is to say, it is caused by comprehensive factors such as high environmental humidity, poor ventilation, weak light and high temperature. Therefore, we should strengthen management at ordinary times to provide a maintenance environment with bright light, smooth ventilation and suitable temperature and humidity for plants, so as to prevent them from infection and disease.
