What if the leaves of Phalaenopsis are rotten?

Phalaenopsis is a very beautiful flowering plant. As a potted plant, Phalaenopsis can not only decorate the home environment, but also be appreciated. And it has a wide variety of flowers and colors, if we can plant multiple varieties, it is bound to show a colorful scene when it comes to flowering.

However, in order to show potted Phalaenopsis with the most beautiful posture, in addition to providing a good growth environment, daily maintenance and management must be done well. If the management is not in place, it may also have a variety of adverse symptoms, which not only affect growth and flowering, but also reduce the ornamental value.

Rotten leaves are a kind of bad symptom which is easy to appear in many flowers and plants, which is generally caused by poor maintenance environment or improper management. If the rotten leaves are not cut off in time, the rotten leaves will breed a lot of harmful bacteria, which will infect healthy leaves and may eventually lead to plant death.

The rotten leaves of Phalaenopsis are either caused by high ambient temperature, poor ventilation and excessive humidity, or due to soft rot of the plant. For the former, in general, we can improve the situation by cutting off rotten leaves, improving the maintenance environment, and then using appropriate medicine to sterilize.

However, if the plant is infected with soft rot, it is often troublesome to deal with it. In addition to cutting off the rotten leaves, it is also necessary to properly control water and humidity, improve ventilation conditions, and do cooling treatment in multiple environments. The mancozeb solution was sprayed on the plant once a month during the disease period.

And cut off diseased leaves and branches should not be left in the basin, should be destroyed in time, otherwise it is easy to leave harmful bacteria in the basin, thus continue to infect and destroy plants. Generally speaking, we only need to cut off the diseased leaves and then spray them with medicine. there is no need to cut off the healthy leaves, otherwise it will affect the growth of the plant.

However, if the disease of the plant is more serious, in addition to operating in accordance with the above methods, it is recommended that you change the pot and change the soil in time, and then re-plant it on the pot. When watering is needed later, a little fungicide such as mancozeb or Bordeaux solution is also added to the water to get rid of these harmful bacteria thoroughly.

However, Phalaenopsis infected with soft rot is often caused by unsuitable growth environment. That is, it is caused by the comprehensive factors of high environmental humidity, poor ventilation, weak light and high temperature, so we should also strengthen management to provide plants with a maintenance environment with bright light, smooth ventilation and suitable temperature and humidity, so as to avoid infection.
