It is now a cool autumn, suitable for the growth of many flowers, such as crab claw orchid is a plant dormant in hot summer weather, until the cool autumn it will wake up from dormancy to grow normally. Some flower friends report that the leaves of the crab claw orchid at home are still soft and wilted. In fact, this situation, like the crab claw orchid, is mainly due to insufficient fertilization, poor lighting, or root rot, which should be checked and improved accordingly.

When the crab claw orchid wakes up in autumn and enters the growing period, it is necessary to gradually put the plant in a well-lit place, and then add fertilizer, so that the plant can gradually begin to grow, when the leaves of the crab claw orchid are still soft and drooping. There are three steps to improve.

I. check the health of the root system

When the crab claw orchid has poor growth, we should first check whether the root system is rotten, because after the root rot, the crab claw orchid will not be able to absorb nutrients, and the leaves will naturally droop and become weak. If the root system is rotten, it should be pruned in time, and then change the pot to change the soil, so that the plant can grow safely. If there is no rot, it is because of fertilization and light.

Second, enhance the lighting

When the lighting is bad, there will also be abnormal leaves, and it is necessary to move the crab claw orchid to a balcony with good lighting. If the plant has long-term poor daylighting in the early growth process, it cannot be moved directly to the sun, directly changing the light intensity, which will cause discomfort in the growth of leaves. The correct way is to slowly enhance the lighting to the plant, and finally put it on the balcony with good lighting.

Third, fertilize and water the plants

Now is the period of rapid growth of crab claw orchid, so it needs to be supplemented with fertilizer, because it is about to enter winter, so it is best to replenish it with 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution, spray directly on the eye leaves of crab claw orchid, spray once a week, let the leaf surface fully absorb phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, can not only promote leaf growth, but also promote the development of flower buds.
