How to save the curly leaves of orchids

The leaf curl of the orchid may be infected with bacteria on the root. Remove the plant from the pot, then wash and trim the root, put it in a new pot, and sprinkle some quicklime on it. It may also be that the fertilizer is too thick or the nutrients are not balanced, so it is necessary to rinse and adjust the type of fertilizer with water. It may also be caused by not watering for a long time, so it is necessary to replenish water in time.

First, clean up the roots

Specific reason: the root may be infected with bacteria, causing the root of the plant to rot, and then the leaves curl.

Solution: if dealt with in time, it can still be saved. Take the plant out of the pot first. Wash the roots with clean water. Then prune, completely pruning the rotten roots and dry roots. After that, let it dry in a cool place, and then disinfect it with disinfectant. Prepare new substrates, preferably orchid paste. Put the plant back into the pot, and then sprinkle it with quicklime. After that, special attention should be paid to watering, once every two days in summer and about once a week in winter.

II. Change of fertilizer

Specific reason: may be the concentration of fertilization is too high, resulting in fertilizer damage, resulting in leaf curl. It may also be due to uneven nutrition and emphasis on only one kind of fertilizer.

Solution: if it is fertilizer damage, then you need to wash off the excess fertilizer with water first. After that, pay attention to dilution, not too high concentration, after fertilization can be watered once. If it is the case of uneven nutrition, then you can adjust the type of fertilizer used, using nutritionally balanced fertilizer.

Third, replenish water in time

Specific reasons: no watering for a long time, lack of water in the leaves. If the light is also strong, it will cause curl.

Solution: replenish water in time. If the light is also strong, then move its position.
