What if the leaves of Phalaenopsis cracked?

Flower lovers who cultivate Phalaenopsis in the northern region may encounter the problem of leaf cracking in the process of cultivation. If there is no certain culture experience, they may think that the plant has suffered some kind of disease. In fact, the reason for leaf cracking is very simple.

Cracking performance

The cracking of Phalaenopsis leaves is specifically realized as cracking from the middle vein of the leaf, and the severe crack will extend to the tip of the leaf.

Cause of cracking

The cracking of Phalaenopsis leaves is basically due to the influence of too dry weather, especially in the north where there is less precipitation.

Crack treatment

Situation one

If Phalaenopsis is newly bought, the possibility of cracking will be relatively greater, because if it was cultivated in an environment with a suitable temperature before, it will inevitably cause more or less damage to the brittle and tender leaves in the rapid development, and if it is accidentally folded to the leaf, there will be varying degrees of cracking, but in this case After Phalaenopsis slowly adapts to the new growth environment, the leaves can heal by themselves.

Case two

If the cracking of the leaves is not optimistic and cannot be cured by their own growth ability, measures can be taken to spray water on the leaves, or spray around the plant to increase air humidity, but it should be noted that do not spray too much water, otherwise it will increase the incidence of diseases such as soft rot or blight, if the loss outweighs the gain.
