What if the leaves of Tiger tail Orchid turn yellow?

Tiger tail orchid is beautiful and ornamental, but sometimes the leaves are yellowed because of inadequate maintenance and management. So, what if the leaves of Tiger tail Orchid turn yellow? Naturally, it is necessary to find out the cause of the yellowing of the leaves, and then prescribe the right medicine to save it.

When the leaves of tiger tail orchid turn yellow, it will inevitably reduce its ornamental value, and may also affect the normal growth, so we need to pay enough attention to it. And many people simply think that they only need to cut off the yellow leaves. In fact, it is still difficult to guarantee that there will be no more yellow leaves in the future.

The yellowing of the leaves of tiger tail orchid is a kind of bad symptom which is easy to appear, which will reduce the ornamental value of potted plants and may lead to fatal results at large. Therefore, as soon as we encounter the yellow leaves of Tiger tail Orchid, we should immediately begin to investigate the root cause of the problem.

Tiger tail orchid leaves yellowing phenomenon, the general crux of the problem lies in the root, that is, the root is damaged or rotted. And the way to determine if there is something wrong with the root system is also very simple. That is, we gently pick up the plant with our hands and hang it in the air. If the flowerpot and pot soil are held up together with the plant, it means that the root system is in a healthy and undamaged state.

But if we lift the plant by hand and the plant is immediately detached from the soil in the basin, it is enough to show that the root of the plant has been rotted or damaged. Then we take a closer look at the root system of the plant, in which case the general root system has withered. So, what should we do at this time?

1. We need to get rid of all the rotten roots, and then cut off the bottom of the root with scissors until we can see the white part of the root. Then put it aside to dry the wound, and it is best to use mancozeb solution to sterilize and disinfect the root before replanting.

2. Prepare a container, then inject an appropriate amount of water, and then pour mancozeb into it, let it fully dissolve, and then stir well. Although mancozeb solution smells like an obvious drug and does not seem to smell so good, its germicidal efficacy is indeed very obvious.

3. The base of the plant treated by root pruning and root drying was soaked in mancozeb solution for sterilization. This ensures that the infection will not continue after the plant is back on the pot.

4. It is recommended to use fluvo-aquic soil when re-planting in the pot, which can avoid watering after the pot, but there is still a certain humidity in the basin soil, which can ensure that the plant can get water to restore growth. It is safer to wet the soil with mancozeb solution soaked in the roots.

5. Put the dried tiger tail orchid back on the pot and plant it. Note that the part buried in the soil must be deep enough to make it easier for the plant to resume growth. Finally, put the potted plants in a cool and ventilated place to slow down the seedlings.

Perhaps some friends will ask, is it necessary to pour root water after planting? In fact, this problem is now very simple and obvious. After pruning, the plant does not even have a root system, so naturally there is no need to pay the root water. Fixed root water is a kind of operation of pouring water when root system is needed.
