Tiger Pilan leaves were soft and grandma used this trick to solve the problem easily.

Tiger Pilan, as a kind of foliage plant we are very familiar with, is very popular among planting enthusiasts. Evergreen all the year round, tall and straight leaves, and simple maintenance have made it a necessity for many families, but in the process of planting, some small partners, especially those who plant new plants, often encounter this situation-the originally upright tiger skin orchid suddenly wilted, and the leaves drooped all over the ground, leaving them lifeless. So what is the reason for this phenomenon? What should we do about it? Let's take a look at it next.

You can't water too much!

Many people may be too "doting" when planting tiger skin orchid, always worried about its lack of water. Therefore, the dosage is often too large and the frequency is too high when watering. But in fact, this is completely wrong. It is important to know that the root of Tiger Pilan itself is very fragile and its water absorption capacity is poor. If it is watered too frequently or encountered with plum rain in the south, it is likely to directly lead to stagnant water in the basin. Make the root of Magnolia lack of oxygen and finally the leaves become soft and wilted. As for the solution is quite simple, watering to implement the "dry rather than wet" principle. The basin soil is watered only when the soil is dry, and should be discharged in time when the stagnant water is encountered.

Pay attention to the growth temperature

Normally, the temperature parameter should be kept between 15 and 30 ℃ in Hu Pilan's favorite growing environment. Above this temperature, it will lead to an increase in the temperature of the basin, soil and plants. The hot leaves of the magnolia became yellow and soft, losing its straight and straight posture. If the temperature is lower than 5 ℃, it will cause frostbite, and the leaves will also wilt and soften and even die. The way to deal with it is to pay attention to the change of temperature. Families in the north usually have heating in winter, and it is relatively easy to keep the temperature. You only need to control the amount of water. In the south, some equipment is needed to ensure the balance of temperature.

Be careful when exposed to the scorching sun!

It is true that Tiger Pilan likes sunshine. In the process of its growth, we also need an environment with plenty of light, so in general, we will adopt a strategy of putting tiger skin orchid on the balcony. But that may change in the summer. Because the sun is particularly strong in the midsummer afternoon, if it shines directly on the leaves, it may cause burns and paralysis of the leaves, so it is the best way to take shading measures. Moving indoors is a good choice.

All the above reasons are actually due to environmental or human factors, but the last one is caused by patients. The softening of tiger skin orchid leaves may be caused by bacterial soft rot. In general, when the tiger skin orchid leaves are light yellowish green or grayish yellow, water-like soft rot spots appear on the stems on the ground, which are easy to break, they are likely to get soft rot. So what should we do with it? First of all, if we find the leaves that have already appeared, we must dispose of them without hesitation. When you get sick, you can spray 12% green copper 600x solution or 72% agricultural streptomycin 4000 times solution. Spray once every 7-10 days, 2-3 times in a row can be treated.
