What if the leaves of the latest tiger skin orchid become soft?

The tiger tail orchid is a common family potted plant, and it is a perennial evergreen herb of the genus Liliaceae. The leaves often become soft in the process of breeding. In fact, the softening of the leaves of the tiger tail orchid is mainly caused by strong light, too much watering, low temperature and bacterial soft rot. Let's take a look at what to do if the leaves become soft.

Strong light in direct sunlight

[reason] Tiger skin orchid is a relatively shade-tolerant plant, which can be cultured under astigmatism, or in places where the light is not very strong, if the sun is exposed to the sun, it will lead to sunburn, softening leaves, and so on.

[method] Tiger Pilan likes the light, so it must be kept in contact with the sun, preferably in a place where it can be directly irradiated. If the conditions do not permit, it should also be placed in a place close to the sun and placed in a dark place for a long time. It will cause the leaves to turn yellow.

Frequent watering

[reason] the root system of tiger skin orchid is underdeveloped, and watering too frequently can easily lead to lack of oxygen and rot of the root system, and then cause the leaves to become soft.

[methods] Tiger Pilan watering should grasp the principle of dry rather than wet, properly watering new plants at the root neck in spring to keep the basin soil moist, and do not let water accumulate in the basin in the rainy season. Usually, clean water can be used to scrub the foliar dust to keep the leaves clean and bright. Generally speaking, if the soil is relatively loose, it is watered twice a week, and the weather is colder in winter. It only needs to be watered once.

The temperature is too low

[reason] Tiger Pilan likes a warm environment. If the temperature is too low, Tiger Pilan will grow and appear.

[methods] Hupilan has a high requirement for temperature. The suitable temperature for its growth is 20-30 ℃. If it is below 13 ℃, it will stop growing. The lowest temperature in winter should not be lower than 10 ℃, otherwise the base of the plant will rot and the whole plant will die.

Bacterial soft rot

[reason] after the leaves were damaged by bacterial soft rot, the leaves were light yellowish green or grayish yellow, and water-stained soft rot spots appeared on the stems on the ground, which were easy to break. The rhizome is yellow and soft rotten, and the root is dead.

[methods] when watering, you should avoid splashing on the leaves, find the diseased leaves, remove them and destroy them in time. When you get sick, you can spray 12% green copper 600x solution or 72% agricultural streptomycin 4000 times solution. Spray once every 7 days and 3 times in a row.
