Why do your crab claw orchid leaves grow thin and thin? Because you didn't do a good job on these points.

Do many flower friends always feel that their crab claw orchid leaves are thin and thin, others are fat and thick, and they don't know why? Let me tell you today that your crab claw orchid leaves are thin and thin because you haven't done a good job on the following points.

1. Watering is unreasonable. Because the crab claw orchid is resistant to drought, many people do not need to pour too much water, because the leaves of the crab claw orchid become thinner and thinner because of the lack of water. Although the crab claw orchid is very sensitive to water, it is easy to rot if it is watered too much. Similarly, less watering is also very disadvantageous to its growth. Because the root system of crab claw orchid is very small, if there is a lack of water in the soil, the root system does not have enough ability to transport enough water and nutrients for the leaves, but in order to protect itself, in order to protect itself, the stems of its leaves will grow into aerial roots and rely on aerial roots to absorb water and nutrients from the air, but the water and nutrients in the air can not meet the growth of branches and leaves, so it will slowly become thinner and thinner. Therefore, proper watering and spraying are the key factors to promote leaf thickening. Therefore, the soil should be kept moist but not too wet. And always spray the leaves with water to keep them clean and shiny.

2. Lack of nutrition. Crab claw orchid in the growth to have sufficient nutrients, lack of nutrients its leaves will become thinner, thinner, seriously become as thin as paper, which needs to replenish it. It can be combined with watering to apply 0 or 2% compound fertilizer solution once a month, or an appropriate amount of slow-release fertilizer or organic fertilizer can be embedded in the basin in spring. Spray the leaves with foliar fertilizer and water every 10 days or so, and the leaves of crab claw orchid which have been fertilized in this way will slowly become thicker and fatter.

3. Soil consolidation. Crab claw orchid likes loose and breathable soft soil, if the soil used for breeding crab claw orchid is too sticky, after a period of time, the basin soil will become hard, the soil hard root system will not grow well, and the leaves will become thin, thin and yellow. Therefore, crab claw orchid must choose a good soil, preferably loose and breathable sandy soil, this is conducive to the growth of crab claw orchid.
