The deadly orchid soft rot is preventable, controllable and difficult to cure, but I'm serious about it.

The deadly orchid soft rot can be prevented and difficult to cure, but I am serious about prevention.

For orchids, soft rot is equivalent to cancer. If we do not prevent and deal with it in time, we will fall down. Because the harm of rot is very serious and spreads rapidly. There are usually two kinds of soft rot and black rot in orchids. Usually, if you don't pay attention to it, if you catch it, it's hard to escape.

Here, I would like to introduce some of the characteristics of the disease as follows: in the early stage of soft rot, tiny brown water stains appear on the leaves, and then expand into black moist patches, which are very easy to rupture and discharge foul-smelling liquid. After that, the orchid plant will rot quickly. The disease is easy to occur in the rainy and humid season above 30 ℃.

However, black rot is a fungal disease, which often occurs in leaves, root bases and growing points, and translucent spots initially appear in the diseased areas, which gradually expand, blacken the tissue and gradually rot. When it begins to appear on the root system or underground stem, it should be paid attention to. If it is not controlled, it will soon spread from the root system to the whole underground stem, until the plant will be completely destroyed. In a very short time, the disease can make the orchid rhizome turn black and the leaves blacken and rot.

Therefore, although soft rot is difficult to cure, we can prevent and control it so that it does not affect other orchid groups. Today, the editor will introduce such prevention methods. When the orchid is infected with rot, it is necessary to turn the basin and change the soil in time, cut off all the tissues of the diseased part and burn them centrally, then wash and disinfect the cut with clean water, smear sulfur powder, dry it in a cool and ventilated place, and return to the basin after the incision shrinks. After putting on the basin, do not water or spray for 3 to 4 days. Use 50% thiram plus 500 times water to make a solution and spray it once.

At the same time, the orchid planting environment should strengthen ventilation and lighting. The diseased plants after rescue should be temporarily isolated from other orchids to avoid infection. When it grows normally and is not contagious, it can be put together with other orchids. Thank you for taking the precious time out of your busy schedule to read patiently.
