What about the drooping leaves of tiger skin orchid?

Now it has entered autumn, as the weather gradually turns cool, and sometimes even can feel bursts of air-conditioning, many friends have added thicker clothes. For Hu Pilan, the next step is to make preparations before overwintering. Because the cold tolerance of Hu Pilan itself is relatively poor, it is easy to affect the normal growth if it is frozen.

Tiger skin orchid is a succulent plant, native to the tropics, so it is not freeze-resistant. And with the cooler weather, many potted friends found that the growth of their potted tiger skin orchid has also weakened, and some of the leaves droop or even wilt.

Tiger Pilan likes to grow in a warm environment and most likes to grow in a conservation environment of more than 20 degrees. When the weather becomes cold, especially when the ambient temperature is below 10 °C, its growth rate slows down significantly; when the ambient temperature is below 5 °C, it will be frozen.

Many flowers and plants tend to show drooping leaves when they are frozen, and the same is true for Tiger Pilan. When the ambient temperature is below 5 °C, the leaves of the plant will droop, which is not good-looking at all. Therefore, when approaching winter, we must take timely measures to prevent cold and keep warm, so as to avoid frost damage.

Of course, in order to ensure that the plant can survive the winter safely, it is necessary to apply some fertilizer to make it grow stronger before entering the winter. Only in this way can it improve its ability to protect against cold, so as to avoid the occurrence of leaf droop caused by freezing. In this season, we will gradually replenish some nutrients for it.

But to give Hu Pilan topdressing, we don't need to go to the flower market to buy special fertilizer. We can usually make our own fertilizer at home. We can take some soybeans, we can bury them far away from the roots of the plant and let them ferment and rot in the basin, thus decomposing nutrients; at the same time, we can boil them first, then put them in bottles, and then fill them with the right amount of water. tighten the cap to let it ferment.

When the soybeans are completely mature in the bottle, they can also be decomposed into rich nutrients, and then the soybeans together with the rotten liquid are used to fertilize Tiger Pilan, the effect is very good. After absorbing a large amount of nutrients in soybeans, plants will naturally grow stronger, which can not only prevent the leaves from drooping, but also improve their ability to protect themselves from the cold, so as to ensure that they can survive the winter safely.
