What about the latest Phalaenopsis leaves yellowing and softening

Phalaenopsis has the nickname of "queen of foreign orchids". The flowers are like butterflies and are deeply loved by people. Although Phalaenopsis is a flower variety that mainly watches flowers, the problems with the leaves should not be underestimated. If the leaves are not healthy, it means that the plants are unhealthy, which will also have an impact on flowering. Below, the pro-agricultural network will introduce to you what to do when the leaves of Phalaenopsis turn yellow and soft.

When raising Phalaenopsis in the home, the leaves often turn yellow and soft, and there are many reasons for this, so we will take different measures when we take measures. let's take a look at the specific reasons for the yellow and soft leaves of Phalaenopsis.

I. temperature

I have already introduced to you that Phalaenopsis is the queen of foreign orchids, so naturally it has more stringent requirements on the growth environment. The best temperature for the growth of Phalaenopsis is 18-28 ℃, which is not resistant to high temperature and cold. Higher than 32 ℃ and less than 15 ℃ will affect the growth of Phalaenopsis. Therefore, more attention should be paid in summer and winter to ensure that it grows in a suitable environment.

2. Water and fertilizer

Phalaenopsis is native to the tropics and likes high humidity, but overwatering of potted plants can easily lead to stagnant water and rotten roots, so how should we water it?

When the leaves of Phalaenopsis turn yellow and soft, you can choose to put the whole basin of Phalaenopsis into a large container filled with water, and the water surface is in 2 parts of the Phalaenopsis pot. Just feel the soil moist with your hands.

Phalaenopsis needs to be fertilized during its growing period. usually, we can apply more potash fertilizer, which will make Phalaenopsis blossom better.

Third, lighting

Phalaenopsis likes semi-shaded environment and likes to scatter light. Strong light or long-term exposure to dark environment will affect the photosynthesis of Phalaenopsis, making the leaves yellow and soft.

Usually when we grow Phalaenopsis at home, we will put it on the balcony and other places where it can be exposed directly to the sun, which can be placed in this way when the light is not strong in winter, but we need shade in summer to avoid strong exposure. It is also necessary to ensure adequate light at ordinary times.

IV. Diseases and insect pests

Phalaenopsis common pests are red spiders, shell insects and so on, these two pests will also cause Phalaenopsis leaves yellowing and softening. In the process of breeding Phalaenopsis, we should ensure the circulation of air, clean up the dead branches and rotten leaves in time, and observe the surrounding environment of plants to ensure the clean growth. When there are few pests in the initial stage, you can use a soft brush to wipe off the foliar bugs, or you can spray insecticides to get rid of them.

These are the reasons for the yellowing and softening of Phalaenopsis leaves introduced by the pro-agricultural network, and the corresponding treatment methods, hoping to bring some help to you. In fact, we can also find through this article that the main reason for the yellowing and softening of Phalaenopsis leaves is that we breeders do not understand the growth habits of Phalaenopsis, so we must do enough homework before culture. only in this way can we reduce the problems we will encounter in the process of breeding.
