Goldfish hanging orchid branches long leaves small how to do?

Goldfish hanging orchid is a common potted plant in many potted friends' homes. It is not only evergreen all the year round, but also blossoms very beautiful, just like a goldfish, very lovely. But if we usually neglect management or improper maintenance, its ornamental value will be lost.

This is not, recently, some potted friends have reflected that their own potted goldfish orchids have slender branches and thin and few leaves. How is this going on? If the goldfish hanging orchid is in this situation, what should we do?

If the goldfish hanging orchid is raised well, not only the plant shape of the potted plant is beautiful, the branches and leaves are compact and luxuriant, but also full of good-looking little goldfish in the flowering period. If you encounter its slender branches and sparse leaves, not only the potted plant is not good-looking, but also it will be difficult to blossom in the later stage. It can be seen that there must be a growth problem in the plant.

In fact, the slender branches and small leaves of potted plants are an obvious phenomenon of overgrowth. The same is true for goldfish hanging orchids, and the adverse consequences brought to it by the apprentice are also very obvious. If we want to restore the goldfish plant to its original beautiful growth state, we must first solve the problem of overgrowth.

The reason is that the overgrowth of goldfish hanging orchid is mainly caused by the lack of light in the conservation environment. And if there is plenty of water and fertilizer, it will accelerate its growth. If we want to solve the phenomenon of goldfish hanging orchids, we first need to improve the conservation environment in time, and then quickly adjust the management means.

I. changing the conservation environment

Although goldfish hanging orchids prefer a cool and moist growth environment, but if they want to grow normally, they also need to have enough light. If the environment is shaded and lack of light for a long time, it is also easy to grow. After all, it grows rapidly and has strong germination ability. At this time, if there is more water, it will accelerate the growth.

Therefore, at this time, we should put the potted plants in a place with sufficient light to ensure normal photosynthesis. Considering that goldfish hanging orchid likes cool ventilation and is not resistant to strong light, it is recommended to put it in a bright and ventilated place with sufficient scattered light for maintenance.

2. Proper control of water and fertilizer

Goldfish Cymbidium grows rapidly and has a large demand for water and fertilizer, but if there is too much water and fertilizer in the lack of light, it will further aggravate the phenomenon of overgrowth. As a result, the branches grow slender, the leaves are sparse and small, and even the branches and leaves stagger.

So while increasing the light, we also need to properly control water and fertilizer, especially the need to reduce watering in time, at least not to water too much in a short period of time. Generally put it in a bright and ventilated place with sufficient light, and at the same time properly control the water for a period of time, the appearance of futility can be obviously contained.

Third, pruning scientifically

If the goldfish hanging orchid is relatively strong, although the growth can be well controlled by taking the above two measures. However, the original slender branches are still ugly, and the effect of sprouting new branches and leaves is not obvious. Therefore, we still need to deal with it scientifically by means of pruning at this time.

It is generally necessary to cut off those slender and staggering branches and cut them short for other longer branches. Pruning can not only stimulate plant germination of new branches and leaves, but also further control the plant shape of potted plants. The newly sprouted branches of goldfish orchid are also thicker, the leaves are wider and greener, and the phenomenon of overgrowth will disappear. And in the later stage, goldfish hanging orchids also grow vigorously and blossom more easily.
