What if the leaves of Cymbidium grow askew?

Cymbidium is a common flower variety in our life, its leaves are opposite, neatly arranged, the leaves are thick, and the leaves are shaped like swords. when they are not flowering, they can also be appreciated as foliage plants. But in the process of breeding, we often encounter the situation of crooked leaves, which greatly reduces the ornamental value of orchids. The following editor will introduce to you the treatment methods after the leaves of orchids grow askew.

The leaves of some varieties of Cymbidium grow very casually, if they do not grow neatly at the beginning, let them grow at will, if it is not the problem of the variety, then it is basically caused by uneven light in the process of maintenance.

First, the reason why the leaves of Cymbidium are crooked.

Many plants have phototaxis, that is to say, they will grow toward the sunny side, especially the plants raised on the balcony and windowsill, they will grow out of the window, and some leaves will grow outward when they see more light, and photosynthesis is sufficient. It will grow faster, and as time goes on, the leaves will be askew in the morning.

Introduction to the method of blade correction

1. Adjust the placement of flowerpots regularly

If you want to prevent the leaves of the orchid from growing neatly, you need to keep each leaf receiving light evenly, but only one side of our balcony can see the light, so we can only manually make the leaves receive light evenly, and we can turn the pot once a week. The angle of each turning basin is 180 degrees, so that the plant type can be maintained and the leaves will not grow crooked.

2. Cover the light with tin foil

This method uses the method of shading, if the plant size of the gentleman orchid, can be directly wrapped in tin foil, the effect will be much better than some thick paper, and there will be no damage to the leaves, as shown in the picture above, it is best to prepare some paper clips, or 0 small hairpin.

The leaf protrudes to which side, cover that side, this method cooperates with rotating basin maintenance, the effect doubles, if the leaf is not crooked seriously, it only takes half a month to recover.

3. Fix it with a paper shelf

The above method is relatively simple and rough, directly prepare some cardboard, preferably lighter wet, cut a uniform hole in the paper, so that the leaves of the orchid can be put in (as shown in the picture above), you may be worried that this will damage the plant, but the flower friends think of an improved way, that is, to put a shelf on the top, and then use a rope to hang the two ends of the cardboard, so that the leaves will not be crushed.

4. Foam mat

This method is more gentle, prepare some foam boxes, cut off a lot of small pieces, and then sandwiched between the leaves, long crooked leaves with paper shading, with the second method to use the best effect, want to correct the leaves can not be completed in a day or two, it takes a certain amount of time for the leaves to recover neatly, and it is the most important to keep the light uniform.

Note:

Gentleman orchid does not like exposure, give appropriate scattered light is enough, regular appropriate turn basin, can prevent the leaf from growing askew.
