After autumn, the leaves of the crab claw orchid are soft. Use a little bit of it. The leaves are as firm as steel.

As we all know, crab claw orchid is a kind of plant that enters dormancy in summer. It will not recover until the temperature drops below 30 degrees in autumn, and then enter the growing period. Now it is autumn, and the temperature has become cool, but some flower friends found their crab claw orchid, after the beginning of autumn, the leaves began to soften, almost turned into a "hanging orchid", at this time, let's not worry, use a little "it", let us crab claw orchid leaves as strong as "steel sheet"!

First of all, we need to know what your crab claw orchid looks like in summer. If your crab claw orchid is a little soft in summer and only softer in autumn, this situation is very easy to solve. This is because of the lack of water, in the summer, we are afraid that the dormant period absorption capacity is not enough, easy to cause stagnant water, so less watering, so it is normal to soften the leaves.

What we need to do now is to slowly increase the amount of watering, let it slowly recover, especially foliar spraying water is very important, keep 1-2 times a day, put in a well-ventilated place, almost half a month, it can recover! During this period of time, we can cut off the two leaves at the top of the crab claw orchid, which can reduce evaporation, lock water, quickly restore the leaves, do not worry about the impact, these two leaves will soon grow out! And after using a little water, the new leaves of our crab claw orchid will be very strong, just like a small "steel sheet", hard!

This is a normal situation, there is an abnormal situation, that is, the summer is still good, after autumn, suddenly appeared the phenomenon of leaf softening, this situation is generally caused by root rot! There are two possibilities, after the beginning of autumn, people think that it is completely out of the dormant period, and begin to fertilize and water, so it is easy to measure too much, resulting in stagnant water, fertilizer, and rotting roots!

In this case, what we need to do is to check the root system to see if there is rot. If so, we should immediately change the basin, cut off the rotten root system, soak the carbendazim solution for 10-15 minutes, dry it naturally and then put it into the basin. Only in this way can we have a chance to save the crab claw orchid! Then many people will ask, crab claw orchid has just entered autumn, is about to leave the dormancy period, how should we maintain it?

In fact, the method is very simple, we should not rush to replenish the water and fertilizer, we can take our time step by step, and when watering, we can use a spray can to spray water, so that there will not be too much, as long as the basin soil is slightly moist. If we apply fertilizer, we should not add fertilizer to the basin soil, we can use a little foliar fertilizer, that is, the fertilizer that can be absorbed by the leaves, smear and spray on the leaves, so that it will not cause the bad situation above us!
